The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

HR nicely handled the whole process. It was a positive experience. Most of the interviewers were warm and friendly. The bad luck was July’s slow down and frozen, and that’s the reason there was no offer.Candidate-reported process
They asked for references and invited me to the interview, then told me the hiring was frozen until the end of the year so overall it was a disappointing experience. I tried multiple times to get hired and never got an offer.Candidate-reported process
1 - Phone screen with the recruiter 2 - 1-hour interview with a Sr. Program Manager 3 - Four 45-minute interviews with different managers and program managers from various parts of the companyCandidate-reported process
