Question 1
One screener was technical (regex related) and the other one linguistic (general).
This was for a corporate linguist role - not project work.
Zoom interview with two members of the team where we discussed the role and my interest, then qualifications and behavioural questions.
It was good . Relaxing and comfortable . Several calls with different members . Nothing really unexpected so you should be OK . I am not sure what else to add here, to be honest.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Appen in Aug 2020
Interview
The interview process was very pleasant. I was reached out by the hiring manager directly. We had a Teams meeting for about an hour. She asked my education background and programming experience. I asked what a typical day would look like at Appen. Most linguists work remotely from home.
