Pros

The whole interview process has been a challenging but great experience! I also got to work with Tayla from Instant Impact who supported and guided me through the whole thing. I felt so confident and relaxed. She was truly incredible and highly recommend! As for the different team members I got to meet during the Discovery Day, everyone was very fun and welcoming, it definitely took the generic ' interview' vibe away and created a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

No cons at all. Was overall a great experience
