Candidate-reported interview process

I met with the hiring manager and some other team members. They asked me typical technical questions, like about beam bending and fluid flow, and also some behavioral questions. Then I had a chat with the recruiter about the offer details.

It was a really good interview, the interviewer was very kind and mostly talked about my resume experience. They also gave me some tips for future interviews. It's important to really understand the job position at their company. Good luck to everyone!

I applied via the company portal and got a call from HR the very next day to schedule the first round, which was with two managers. It went well, focusing on my previous experience. After that, I had a second round with US counterparts, which also seemed to go well and included questions about my past experience and some behavioral aspects. Overall, it was a really smooth and amazing interview process.
