Everything went smoothly but in the end, I didn't receive any message about the outcome of my application and interview!! For a big and well-known company, it's very strange and unprofessional that they didn't send me an official email about my interview result! However, the application and interview process was fine. Overall, a negative experience.

Great interview process. Asked a variety of questions about my past experience and situational type of questions to get to know more about me. They seemed genuinely interested in my answers and wanted to get to know me more. They were very kind which is a quality I always look for in recruiters.
