Interview
Phone into a panel interview. They asked me questions about my resume. I asked them about working at Alcon. The interview was enjoyable. We chatted for about 45 minutes. After the interview I connected with the panel members to ask further questions.
They were friendly during the interviews, but they never clarified how many stages the process included. Even when I asked, I didn’t receive an explanation of what to expect. After completing several rounds, they ghosted me.
