Was asked to do a phone screen after submitting an online application. Was initially scheduled by someone in HR in the UK for a meeting with the US-based HR representative. She rescheduled last minute. When we were supposed to meet next, there was a supposed misunderstanding/issue with the meeting link– rescheduled. She no-showed the final time we were supposed to meet. I sent a follow-up email with no response. Ended up pulling my application by emailing the UK HR representative who initially contact me, who responded by stating they were having ongoing issues with Microsoft Teams.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Proxima (London, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
Everyone was really welcoming on the day. We had an introduction to Proxima with breakfast provided before an informal Q&A session. Then I had a 5 minute presentation which I prepared for in advance, followed by questions. The presentation was on a topic of our choice. The following interview, with 2 interviewers, included a range of questions and lasted approx. 45 minutes. The interviews were engaging and made me feel at ease so any nerves were removed. I felt that the questions asked were fair, but different from other interviews and not necessarily what I had prepared for! Overall, great communication and a well organised day.
