The interviews were pretty standard and not too formal. Quite relaxed. I did 3 or 4 interviews, and a few calls with the recruiter to set it all up. They were easy to reach compared to other companies.
The interview process began with a brief introduction where I shared my background, education, and career goals. This was followed by a discussion about my resume and previous projects. Next, I answered a few technical and behavioral questions to demonstrate my knowledge, problem-solving skills, and communication abilities. I also completed a short coding or task-based exercise related to the role. At the end of the interview, I had the opportunity to ask questions about the company and the position before the interviewer explained the next steps in the hiring process.
