“Applying to the Early Talent Automation Pipeline was simple, and it was easy to check the status of the application or multiple applications, since I applied for pipelines at multiple locations. I was invited for an interview through this pipeline and was very satisfied with my experience.  I think it is a great idea to have a pipeline instead of waiting for specific job positions.”
