Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The in-person interviews were strange. One interviewer quizzed me on the layout of the catalog. They were also quite obsessed with glassdoor "I know what it says on glassdoor, but, we're modernizing." Others: Why MRO? How have you improved a process? What do you know about us?
