Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Mercer (Toronto, ON) en nov 2020
Entrevista
The process took about 2 weeks. I applied through Indeed. They contacted me a week later about scheduling an interview. My interview was the week after and it was about 1 hr long.
They responded within 24 hours with no offer.
The interview was quite difficult, part of me wished I never even attended it. Lots of technical questions and behavioural ones. My advice is that if you have no relevant experience within the field there isn't a point in applying because they will definitely point it out. There was a total of 4 people interviewing me and 2 were very rude and to be honest made me feel very bad about myself and extremely uncomfortable.

Very poorly, was contacted via LinkedIn (I didn't initially applied). The interviewer missed the first scheduled call and only wrote back after 5 days. Second scheduled interview was fine. Promised to give me feedback about salary range and send me further recruitment tests. Never got any feedback, seems very unorganized
