Candidate-reported interview process

The interview was straightforward with friendly questions. They took a month to get back to me, and then rejected me despite it seeming really promising.

I needed to complete an online application detailing my suitability for the role. The whole experience was pretty straightforward and not overly challenging. The most demanding part was articulating my strengths, weaknesses, and qualifications for the job.

The interview process was pretty standard. It was just one interview with some behavioral questions. My interviewer was really friendly and let me ask questions at the end. I'd recommend going through it.
