Interview
The first step is a quick phone screen with HR. Then, they schedule you a video (Teams) meeting with your potential department manager(s). An assessment is to be completed prior to the meeting with the managers. Said assessment is, I believe, a combination of behavioral and some version of an IQ. I found the behavioral portion to be a bit difficult in the sense, some questions had no obvious answers. I did my best to provide honest answers, though some questions truthfully were subjective. One such question, I was sure would cause me to fail the overall assessment. It was "I have never lost my temper". Well, I have never lost my temper at work, but surely as a young child I lost my temper on occasion. I, however, chose true because I applied all questions to pertain in a business and/or professional setting.
