Candidate-reported interview process

I had a really good time interviewing. It was two rounds total, one with HR and another with the hiring manager. The people I spoke with were super nice. Nothing too difficult was asked.

It was a pretty thorough interview covering my studies and past experiences. The person interviewing me was friendly and seemed to be looking for particular details from my background to be emphasized. It wasn't overly difficult, but you should definitely be ready to talk about what you know.

The hiring process was pretty fast. I applied online and after about a week, I had a recruiter screening. A week after that, I was scheduled with the Hiring manager. The interview went well overall and the people there are really passionate. Unfortunately, my skills didn't line up perfectly with the job description, so I didn't move forward.
