Candidate-reported interview process

It was pretty easy, they asked stuff about CRUD, how to build a login page, and basic web dev stuff. The people interviewing were nice and it was a relaxed vibe, no tough leetcode problems, but they wanted to see if I understood the tech stuff and could explain it.

The first interview was with HR and the hiring manager to get to know me and talk about the job. No technical stuff. Then I had a second interview with a group manager, which was also not technical.

It takes one week after applying at the Career Fair to hear back. Then I received an email to attend a face-to-face interview. Before that, I had to do a half-hour logical test.
