Candidate-reported interview process

It was a pretty chill and straightforward interview process overall. They asked simple questions like 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' and 'Tell us about yourself.' They also asked about how my previous education tied into my experience.

A recruiter reached out to me about the position and then asked me to apply. Had a phone interview with another recruiter and then two interview rounds with first the hiring manager and some engineers and then another interview with some other engineers from the team.

I was contacted by a recruiter and then interviewed with two senior engineers in a related department.
