Entrevista
This was pre-Covid, however, I feel like I need to state that the most difficult part of the interview was the fact that they alleged that it was just an HR interview and then immediately sent me uptown to their other location to interview with VPs. During Zoom interview this may not be an issue, but I would recommend preparing and doing strenuous research, even for the HR interview, in case of an ambush.

I had as pleasant an interview process as possible (not sure anyone loves interviews!). It involved a first stage HireVue interview, followed by a second-stage in-person interview with two senior staff. Sadly, I did not get the job although received positive interview feedback.

It was an online interview with a series of questions and you had to video yourself answering them. There was no human contact, which is understandable given the number of applicants they must get but it was still a little disconcerting.
