Candidate-reported interview process
It started with a 15-minute call to go over my background. Then, there was a 1-hour interview which was really fair. All the questions were framed using the STAR method, and it felt like a real conversation, not scripted like some places.
The recruitment team was super helpful and kept me informed at every step of the interview process, which had four main parts, ending with a panel interview with four people.
I met 5 engineers and the interview took about an hour. They asked questions about the technicality of the job. I answered all their inquiries. The interview was all about how I do fix things.
