Interview
All interviews are conducted online through HireVue. You do not have an one-on-one with an interviewer. Rather, you record yourself answering the questions. It could be done with laptop or even on your phone with the HireVue App. Not gonna lie, it's quite an interesting experience. They will provide practice questions before the real recording and you can do it as many time as you'd like before beginning. The most important thing to know is that there will be no retakes once the interview starts and you are also timed for each questions. The time they gave for each question was sufficient and I did not feel pressured or rushed.
