Candidate-reported interview process

The interview started with some behavioral questions like 'Tell me about a time when...', and then moved on to a technical question at the end. The technical question was a bit tough, and it seemed like they were looking for a very specific answer.

The process was really smooth and everyone was super nice. It started with some behavioral questions about motivation, then moved onto technical stuff. The interviewers actually helped me out when I got stuck on the technical parts. It was a good experience overall.

The interview was pretty relaxed and focused on general topics, not technical ones. The interviewer was not intense. It was mainly a screening to see if I'd be a good person to work with.
