Engineer- Mainframe -15002417 Interview Experience - Scottsdale, Arizona
Process
It was a panel behavioral and technical interview with four people (two managers and two techies).
Managers told me that it's not horrible if I cannot answer all technical questions. Most important for them was to be assured that I am a good and fast learner.
Both managers looked friendly, while the techies did not.
I had a hard time catching their accents and needed to ask them to repeat. After the first five minutes, I understood that I would not be selected.
