Candidate-reported interview process

Interview was conducted by a Supervisor and a Senior Tech. It felt really inclusive and professional, and they made sure to mention how the company tries to treat employees well. Behavioral interviews can be tricky, but the interviewers were patient and gave me enough time to really think and do my best.

I took a SQL test with 10 questions. They gave me a database with a specific schema and I had to write queries to get the right results. The database was agnostic and they didn't focus too much on the exact syntax.

I completed a quick 15-minute online assessment. After that, I had a 40-minute phone interview where we talked about why I wanted to apply. Sadly, I didn't move forward, but they did give me some feedback.
