The interview experience was really positive and friendly. Even if I didn't know an answer, the interviewer would explain it and tell me not to worry, which made me feel good about the company. I'm not sure if I'll get the offer, but I definitely learned a lot from the interviewer. Wishing good luck to everyone else interviewing!
