Interview
The hiring process begins with a brief phone screening lasting approximately 15 minutes, where basic qualifications and experience will be discussed. Following this, candidates will participate in a virtual interview conducted by a panel of two interviewers. This session will delve deeper into your skills, qualifications, and potential fit for the role.
In person, final stage. Found it to be a poor experience the interviewer spent a large amount of time talking about himself and wasn’t particularly good at expressing questions. Others appeared to have a completely different experience no other interviews I had at other firms were like this, likely just an outlier
