Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions where describing relevant situations of previous work experience, and how you manage those situations
Avoid this interview process at all costs. It felt like nothing more than a data gathering exercise rather than a genuine hiring effort. Every single round was conducted by a recruiter — I never spoke with an actual hiring manager or team member. A complete waste of time and effort. I would not recommend applying.
