Interview
The process started with a phone interview and continued with three online interviews. Although the process was quite detailed, it was very professional and well organized. I had chance to speak with different team members and gain a clear understanding of the role and the regional structure. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I felt comfortable throughout the process.
