The interview process was comfortable, but highly subjective. It consisted of a phone screening interview with an HR specialist, and then an in person interview with the Hiring Manager and the Regional Manager in the form of a loosely structured conversation. I received a personal call from the Hiring Manager with feedback. All of it happened within a three week time frame.
Interview Questions
- Q: Do you feel that you can adapt to working in a highly structured environment?

Video interview was given 30 sec to prepare. I could rewatch my recordings and it looked like either an interrogation after massacring 10 people or a low-budget porn interview. The only bright side was that I could study my mannerisms and try to improve them for future interviews.
Interview Questions
- Tell us about yourself. 2. What do you know about our department and why did you choose this role? 3.
