Question 1
They asked how long I was in the vertical and the one process improvement I would bring to the organization.
Straightforward process, very lean. First rounds were conducted online. Final interview was in person and contained a self-presentation and Q&A session with multiple people from the leadership team. Talent acquisition was very quick and helpful with the entire process.
Internal interview (applied for a new role within the company). The interview process was quick and somewhat informal as I was already an employee at the company. The offer was made quickly and the overall process was efficient.
