Business Outlook

Pros

Communication was outstanding, a lot of information and support provided by the talent team who handle the interview stages. You’ll get to meet a lot of staff on the discovery day over zoom which gives you a good view on the company.

Cons

I wouldn’t say there are any cons, it’s a length and intense interview process but it’s definitely better that way as you’ll get a good feel of the company and know if your right for the role.
