February 1, 2016

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The hiring process involved an online application, online interview questions, and a technical interview. It took about 30 days to hear back.

Then, I had five days to complete the video-recorded interview questions. It is a rather cruel process because there is no feedback on how well you are answering the questions.

Questions
