Every interviews did through an online program It was easy and convenient. Saving time and access anytime, and the feedback is really fast about the result of the interview . I would like to recommend to apply this job. Unfortunately, at that time, this company was hiring a full-time job, but I am attending a college at that time, so I couldn’t fit this job, but I will reapply when summer brake.

After 3 weeks of applying online, got a call for a virtual interview that lasted about 45mins. Asked questions about your past work experiences. Lots of behavioural questions.
