The interview process was pretty straightforward. They primarily wanted to know about your recent experience and get a feel for your personality. It's a good idea to have some competency-based answers prepared using the STAR method, but they aren't looking for anything overly complicated.

The interview questions were really tough and difficult, often having two questions combined into one, which required more thinking to answer. If not for the combined nature, the questions themselves wouldn't have been difficult.
