The first round of the interview lasted 3o minutes and primarily focused on very basic HR questions aimed at understanding my background, motivations, and overall fit for the role. The interviewer asked standard questions about my past experiences, strengths, and career aspirations, as well as my interest in the position. In addition to this, there were a few case-based questions designed to assess my problem-solving approach and how I would handle real-world scenarios related to the job. I was also asked about my understanding of the company, including its business model and market positioning, and my rationale for wanting to work there. Overall, the round was introductory in nature, combining general HR screening with a light evaluation of analytical thinking and alignment with the company’s values and role expectations.
The recruiter didn't know where I was applying and asked me out of pocket questions and when I said it's too difficult for me to answer, they kept insisting. Didn't feel like a respectful interview tbh, I left the recruitment process myself.
I applied online. I interviewed at Emma (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in May 2025
