Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and your strengths and weaknesses
1 round completed (HR Screen → First Interview)
The interviewer was professional and serious, not particularly warm, but the structure was clear and the questions were straightforward. No ambiguity in what they were looking for.
Did not receive an offer. Overall a well-run process, just competitive. Would recommend coming in with strong situational examples and some domain knowledge even for the HR stage, it goes deeper than expected.

Question 1
The process moved quickly after the initial screening. The first interview was conducted online and covered both personal background questions and situational/behavioral scenarios. The pace was fast and the questions were fairly intensive for an HR round, more demanding than a typical culture-fit conversation.
Phone screening was good asked basic questions about strengths, weaknesses, situation, etc. The questions were fairly straightforward and the usual questions asked during a phone interview. Overall a very good experience.
Initial interview screen, basic questions about resume and why you want to go into the field and this type of job, how resume and past experience transfers. Not very hard but not very exciting.
