Is it better to complete a client deliverable on time that is not up to its full potential or to push a deadline back in order to provide the best possible solution?
interview is good, straightforward as you can expect but early careers service and talent acquisition is terrible. they don’t get back to you and you have to beg for a response months later
I was connected to the hiring manager through a friend- there were 3 interviews, one was a brief phone interview with HR and they asked about salary expectations, the next was a longer phone interview with the hiring manager, and finally the third interview was a Teams video call with 2 other members of the team. There was also a short, timed writing assignment.
