  • After an initial review of my profile, HR contacted me for an introductory call that mainly collected the basic information.

The atmosphere felt relaxed and more about alignment than a concrete evaluation. Rather than deep technical questions, I had the impression that they wan…

Organizational problems stopped the application before it continued. I cannot really describe it as a completed evaluation because I never reached the stages where my skills would have been tested. Once the calendar brok…
