Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The initial communication was via email. The process included two rounds of phone interviews and one face-to-face interview, which lasted eight hours. During the face-to-face interview, there were six rounds, each with a different interviewer or interviewers. The interview process was prompt and efficient. Both the phone and face-to-face interviews were difficult, even for an entry-level position.
