Interview
Did not reach back to me after the 2nd interview. When I sent an email to them asking when i'd hear back... no response. Disappointed in this company and how they handle the hiring/interview practice.
Two interviews. The second was more technical and the first was more getting to know me. Both interviews were with multiple people. The second one was with video on microsoft teams while the first one was not with video.
They gave me an email telling me they were going to call. The shceduled a phone interview which was 45 minute interview followed by a 30 minute interview.
This was followed up a week later by a skype interview
