It was suggested I should get the result within one week so I emailed the recruiter. She responded the team was currently meeting and will give me a call after. Unfortuantely didn't get the offer. I felt good about my interview, but should have prepared more seriously for the LP questions. Come up with multiple situations focusing on Invent and Simplify, Dive Deep, and Deliver Results. They really dig deep in your stories as well. The recruiter always responded quickly, it was overall an enjoyable experience.
