Candidate-reported interview process
First, there was a chat with HR, where they asked me typical questions to get a better sense of who I am, my background, and why I want to work there. Then, I spoke with a manager. This part was more about the practical stuff for the job, my technical skills, and if I'd fit in with the team. The manager also checked if I understood the company and what it does.
I had an initial interview, then an interview with the engineering manager. After that, there were two technical interviews, and finally, a values conversation to wrap things up. The whole process was pretty smooth, and the interviewers were really nice and seemed to know their stuff when asking questions.
Overall, it was a really great interview experience, and I'm thankful for the chance to interview. All the questions were pretty much what I expected and not too difficult. It was a good experience overall. Thanks again.
