New York, NYPosted Dec 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

It took them months to respond, and then they expected me to be ready the next day.

The interview was done by telephone and the questions were simple, but it came with a sense of urgency.

I remember realizing that I had to keep checking on the interview result, because otherwise I wouldn’t hear back quickly and the process could drag. That pressure around timing shaped the experience more than the content of the questions did.

I didn’t receive an offer from that process. Still, the experience felt straightforward in terms of what they asked, even if the responsiveness and timeline were stressful.
