💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Practice, practice, practice! And know your primary and secondary applications front-to-back.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell us about a mistake you made, how you dealt with it, and how you would deal with it now.
What impressed you positively?
Very friendly interview process. Gave great non-verbal feedback during the interview. Interjected with their views every once in a while. Made it seem a bit more conversational.
What impressed you negatively?
A VERY long day! 8:45-4. Most of the morning is info sessions and panels, so no interviews, but it builds the stress for the afternoon. Though you do come out of there with all of your questions answered and much more info!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The pizza dinner says casual, but I would go with business casual to be safe.
