The interview process consisted of two rounds, one with HR and the following with the hiring manager. The first round with HR was standard; nothing surprising came out of it. However, the second round of interviews was a waste of time. I was required to prepare two presentations based on a given case study and present such to the hiring manager during the interview. To be fair, I spent little to no time preparing for such case studies as I was already dismotivated enough by the fact that I had to do it. Based on my experience with interviews (does not include consulting), I have never seen such a hiring process. Anyhow, I presented the slide decks I prepared, and I was impressed in a negative manner by how the hiring manager remained silent during my entire presentation and did not try to discuss any of my slides. From what I have seen in interviews that do have a case study as part of it, the interviewers do discuss the case study with the interviewee by, for example, asking follow-up questions at least. In conclusion, I felt like the interviewee and its useless case studies were a complete waste of time. Sadly, start-ups are trying to recreate the wheel when it comes to recruiting. P.S.: I have to admit that I did not prepare for this second-round interview at all, as I already had verbally agreed to join another company a couple of days before this interview took place. Meaning that, you all should take this report with a grain of salt!

Very positive experience. The process was very smooth and comfortable. The first interview was with HR and it was focused on getting to know my professional background and work expectations.
