Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The HR was very accommodating and helpful which I really liked, but the interviewers themselves in the first round (FP&A Leads) were downright rude and obnoxious. An interview is an opportunity for both to see if the other is a good fit but it was very one-sided with very less opportunity for me to even ask questions. They were even too curious about my personal background which honestly made me uncomfortable. Did get selected the next round but my decision was already made even if I was through.

The 2nd round was much better with more respect shown. A lot more behavioral and regarding your experiences, your day to day work.
