They passed after the 4 45 minute interviews with the team. The feedback that I received was that there were concerns around my ability to keep up in a fast paced environment. This feedback would have been okay if any of the interviewers asked any questions or discussed the pace but they did not. The recruiter even did a prep with me and again this was not the focus. Providing true and meaning feedback would be appreciated.
