What is your motivation to work in this specific DG?
It was good, very short, nice people. The interview was very short though. But the people were very nice on the other hand. It was interesting. Good experience. Had some trouble logging in but it went over quickly and could flexibly call.
The interview was insightful and well-paced, offering a deep dive into the subject’s experiences and perspectives. The interviewer asked thoughtful questions that sparked engaging responses. Clear audio and a natural conversation flow made it easy to follow. Overall, it was an informative and enjoyable session worth listening to.
The interview took around 15 min, everyone was super nice and friendly, 3 questions were asked in total, 2 typical HR questions + one more technical question, received feedback pretty swiftly after a few days.
