Average Interview
Multiple roundsVirtualResume Review
hireVue first then two rounds. Second round had a case about a tech company entering the electric scooter market. I structured it well but gave a generic answer for the behavioral follow up about my approach to learning new skills. Group case after with other candidates where someone dominated the whole discussion.
