Process
Two Skype interviews about a month apart.
Lack of timely feedback from HR about the whole process. Felt uneasy applying from abroad since I never knew the next step.
Also had a programming test, personality test, and needed to complete e-learning and write a book report. They then made us take the e-learning a second time after joining the company, which felt like a huge waste of everyone's time.
