Interview with a sales manager. Interesting and good conversation. Shared various themes and was open to receive controversial opinions. Depicted a right image of pros and cons of the company. Just minimised drawbacks because hé is used to !!!
Second interview with HR. Nô interest at all! Just wanted to check my ability to stay several years in the company.
