Question 1
What are your weaknesses? From an HR representative
Good experince overall. After initial screening with HR, I was invited for an on site interview, a short presentation and individual meetings with the team members, hiring manager and department head.
Too long. Initially the hiring team announced the whole process until a decision would take ~3 weeks, as the application advertisement was already closed. T hen they started delaying and reopened the position adverstisement to new people, with a new round of selection process that ended up with a final decision takin >2 months.
