Interview
The process began with an online Python test, where I scored 10/10. After that, I had a short 20-minute HR interview including two brain-teaser questions, which went well. The final stage was a one-hour interview focused on discussing my CV and past projects in detail. The process itself felt a bit unstructured, and I believe a misunderstanding during the final interview affected the outcome, as my comments about past applications were misinterpreted as a lack of interest in the role.
