good with introduction and good communication and professional. Their developer came into the interview and talked about the team. HR might be coming in. It is quite fun and a interesting learning process
One recruiter round with general behavioral questions like what kind of projects I worked on, how I interacted with others.
And one technical round together with a developer and a manager. This included a conversation about prior experience, technical stack and some architecture questions. And a short coding test with a simple problem.
