Pros

I had read a great deal of data on the company and was very excited , I am a strong worker - never call off , dual degreed and my salary requirements were below position pay

Cons

I frequently get emails to participate in their video first step interview - with todays technology the company should save the first interview instead of having candidates redu interviews over and over - 2nd they have lost the personal touch , HR is about relationships and they have you interview through IA with prompted questions and record you -
