Interview
I completed 2 online tests and sat through 3 rounds of interviews. I applied to a full-time permanent position. I repeatedly stated that I was only interested in the full-time role I applied for. One manager on the interview panel kept asking whether I’d be open to part-time work, despite repeatedly being told no. She provided feedback on multiple occasions that my resume was “impressive” and my interviews were “going well”, however I ended up receiving a rejection letter. Why advertise a full-time position, drag a candidate through a mini-marathon of hiring steps, and waste their time? If it was clear that my stance didn’t align with their intentions, they should have ended the process in Round 1.

Interview
I first applied for A location and waited for 1 month but got a "no sorry". They have lots and lots of applications so I do understand the long wait. Waiting is not the best thing to experience, but the amazing thing is, the entire time Monica in the HR team has been super helpful and diligent in following up with me. When I told her I just got an offer from a different company and would need to respond in 3 days, she right away offered to help me connect to the manager in B location to arrange for another interview. She is so professional and encouraging. She tried to make the entire process transparent and made sure I understand the steps and time frame of each step. Also the managers that conducted the interviews were very friendly, professional, and would give you hints when you had a hard time coming up with an example. This is a great team.

Interview
It was fun and easy. No need for preparation. Just make sure you be yourself and be confident. The interview took about 30 min and there were two interviews before they decided to offer me the contract.
