What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

I didn't mean to select negative, that isn't true, but the process was smooth and very easy as it was done in a timely fashion

Straightforward. However the checks were inefficient after the offer was made. HR also disregard instructions at times - e.g. I have said that a degree is absolutely not required and they still screen out non degree applications for entry roles unless you very actively get involved.

Interviewers were friendly and open

My interview process was very unique as the manager was moving quickly to progress for higher, so my experience was great

Partner with professors and helping students I do enjoy helping people. I have a few coworkers I enjoy working with, but that's far a few in between.
