The interview process was very positive and polite. They asked clear and direct structured questions, included behavioral and technical assessments, and evaluated cultural fit. There were multiple interview rounds and they collected feedback. I truly enjoyed the interview and learned a lot about the company and the team.

I had a fairly structured interview process, and there was a work trial on a separate day which was unpaid and could be seen as free labour. Some standard questions were asked, but overall it was okay. The initial process was long and time-consuming.
