The interview process focused heavily on technical knowledge, though they understood that a junior candidate wouldn't know everything. HR was helpful, offering to cover travel for the final interview and assisting with relocation. They were consistently clear in their communication and even suggested other departments that might better fit my background. Salary discussions were open to negotiation, and I'd definitely recommend this company.
