Interview
It was cordial and collegial. They had a sense of honesty and investment that I had not experienced any where else. Additionally, there was a keen sense of professionalism, from the moment I was invited to do the interview until the very end. It was definitely exciting and I couldn’t be happier going through the process.
Interview Process was moderate. Importance was given on depth of knowledge about the subject and future aims. The interview process mainly consists of a telephonic interview, followed by a power point presentation of the major focus area, followed by specific questions on career goals and aims
