Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A client has purchased a new payment processing software, and they need your team to manage the implementation. How would you structure the project?
Recruiter showed up late to every call and often scheduled last minute. The times they did show I’d have to email them to ask if they were still going to be there. Salary wasn’t discussed until the offer stage. The hiring team themselves were great, however. Overall process took about a month or more
