Question 1
Tell me what you liked and didn't like about your last experience on resume.
The interview process was long and well thought out. You had the opportunity to talk to many different individuals and they all spoke v highly of the firm. Each round has a unique quirk to it. They walk you through problems if you don;t know how to do it initially.
