Question 1
what do you think as the most important factor to work as a team
Very friendly! Applied online and attended a recruiting event on campus in which I met a recruiter and spoke to her about my interest in the company. I had a phone interview within one month and was told I am moving on to a video interview that same day.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alcon in Feb 2018
Interview
I met a representative at our career fair and sent her my resume after applying to the internship online. I had a phone call with her to discuss my interests and she forwarded my resume along to the hiring managers. I then had a video interview with what later became my team.
