Interview
I had a bad experience. For my first interview I had a case study. The case seemed easy and very straightforward. As I was answering I kept hearing positive reassurance from the interviewer. He kept saying “that makes sense” or “that’s a great point”. The next day I got an email from HR saying I had not been selected with no real explanation.
4 x 45 min interviews back to back with various team members. One a role play, one a maths test, other two more competency based. Very intense and felt excessive.
