Candidate-reported interview process
So first I had a call with HR, then a zoom call with the team lead that lasted about 30 mins. If that went well, I got a take-home assignment that took a few hours. After that, there were two technical interviews, and then one last call with HR.
The interview process was good and easy. The interviewer was very chill and friendly, which made the whole thing super easy. They gave valuable feedback at the end, which was really appreciated. For preparation, just focus on what's already on your resume and get really good at it.
the interview experience was good and the whole process was smooth. The interviews were thorough and you learn a lot. It was well planned out.
