Candidate-reported interview process

First, there was an HR interview. Then, I had a take-home assignment where I had to build a twenty question bot using data from a CSV file. After that, they reviewed my code and asked me to add to it live. Then I met with a more senior dev, and finally, I met with the CTO.

So there were 2 stages in the interview process. The first one was with HR where they talked a bit about the company. Then the second stage was with the technical team, and it included a quick round of questions. Overall, it was a really nice and easy experience.

I had 1 zoom call with general questions about my experience and also some technical questions. I do not recommend applying to this company since I did not receive any feedback after the interview.
