Technical
The interview process was fast. After being shortlisted, two technical rounds happened within a week of each other, and this was the day after I was initially shortlisted. There was some confusion with HR, as I was initially interviewed for a Lead role but then offered an Analyst position. I had to point this out, and they then told me my experience didn't qualify me for the lead role and offered me the senior analyst position instead.
