Process

I received an interview request from an internal referral.

The process was clear initially; the recruiter explained how the recruiting process would go.

After we began the process, there were a few hiccups in the communication between the recruiter and me. It seemed that they were too busy, and some emails were missed or not answered.

But overall, it was an okay experience.
