Pros

Job description for a Junior Analyst position sounded great.

Cons

The job application has a mandatory field asking what nationality the applicant is. This is unacceptable and illegal. Shouldn't you be hiring based on education, skills, and past experience?? What relevance does an applicant's nationality have?
