Interview
Candidatura tramite il loro sito, mi ha contattato la responsabile della posizione un'ora dopo per un breve colloquio telefonico, a seguito del quale è stato fissato via Teams un colloquio più approfondito con lei e un'altra persona. Domande non semplici, ma interesse reale verso la persona e gentilezza da parte degli intervistatori. Feedback ricevuto puntualmente e con cordialità: esperienza nel complesso molto positiva.
