I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AL_A in Feb 2024
Interview
Applied mid/end of Febuary 2024. Got a response no more than 3 days after. The lady that interviewed me was incredibly nice and professional and made the whole process lovely. The only minus to it was the fact that midway through the interview I understood that the role won't be as design related as a thought, so basically I lost my enthusiasm for the position.
They interview you without reading a single word from your cover letter, wasting your time and then finding out that they can’t even sponsor visas. They feel entitled to waste your time and energy.
