Candidate-reported interview process
It was a one stage interview. I had a 2.5 hour Teams call where I had to give a presentation beforehand about a problem. They asked both personal and technical questions. It was pretty chill and conversational. The only downside was that the job description was pretty vague, making it hard to prep.
It was thorough. Interviewers took turns asking questions from their expertise. They covered necessary and many other areas. The technical questions were well-designed and challenging, showing their knowledge.
The interview was organized and structured. First, I did a presentation about my background and experience. Then, I had a second interview where I was given a topic to learn about and then questioned on it. I was given plenty of chances to ask questions.
