Tell me about a time you had to work through conflict
Yearly raises are pitiful. Terrible culture and executives just order people around. Executives also sleeping with team members and seem to have favorites. Don’t expect any bonuses. The job interview is simple just very basic not skill based what so ever. Seems like they just care about your availability and that you can work nights / weekends.
