It was very informative and fast. They asked very standard questions and patiently listen to in-depth answers. I appreciate how much background information they give about the company and work place at the interview stage. Really straight forward. Just show a can-do and positive attitude.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain the hardest customer situation you had to deal with
Contacted me via email. Interviewed me and then wouldn’t return calls. We have been playing phone tag for weeks. AI is used for hiring and I think that should be revisited.
I attended during the hiring day, it was busy but the interview process was pretty straightforward and received an offer same day. I recommend attending early so you don’t have to wait so long.
Waited on a long line outside of the store for nearly three hours just to be met with a condescending bunch of hiring personnel. They seemed more annoyed at having to do their job as if they're on a high horse of some sort than actually caring, or pretending to care at the very least.
