Describe your back ground and what you are interested in
Great and quick interview process. They ensured that interview is well timed and also the questions asked were very accurate and made sense for the role I was interviewing. Thanks
Passed HR interview, then they said they'd set something up with my team and manager - they never did and got ghosted. The job application remains stuck in the platform.
