Process
The hiring and interview process was very friendly. The recruiter initially scheduled a telephone interview. I mentioned that my English was not proficient, and they kindly allowed me to change it to a face-to-face interview on campus. I passed the telephone interview but unfortunately did not pass the onsite interview.
