I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at ICON (Warsaw, Masovia) in Apr 2024
Interview
I was referred by my friend and the process was smooth because the recruiter avoided standard recruitment questions but asked me about my professional experience instead. When one opening was closed or I wasn’t chosen, the recruiter was trying to find another job position for me.
