Interview
I received an email asking to set up a phone interview. When I spoke to the recruiter, she said this was one of their most coveted jobs and I was clearly not qualified. Although I had the same title and responsibilities that were in the listing. She seemed annoyed she had to talk to me yet she reached out to schedule the interview. She was distracted and dismissive.
Enjoyed all the interviews, the recruitment process was very well organized, each person that I have met was very nice and open. I got really good impression of this company.
