Hi everyone, how long does it take after you've done the research case? I had the imbellus result after 1 day and the day later I receive the Research case, I did it on Wednesday 4th

Thanks! The fact is that a friend of mine that received the offer (she applied in April-May) received the feedback in one day. This is the reason why I am so nervous, because I passed the CV screening in one week, I received the imbellus test result in a day and I received the research case task the day later...
and...I don't think that the PPT I made is bad...I also sent it in 4 and 1/2 hours even if I had 10 hours to complete...it has been a good choice? In the mail it was underlined that to complete the task it takes on average 3/4 hours but I had 10 hours.

Hi there,
Patience here please! I would wait 2 weeks at least before reaching out.
Recognize that they are super busy right now and there's a lot going on.
Fingers crossed for you!

Hi, it usually takes up to 2 weeks. If you do not get answers I recommend contacting HR without worrying about bothering them. They are there to help.
Finger crossed :)
