It was a pretty fast interview process, although it felt a bit disorganized because the interviewers didn't seem very prepared. It was a really chill interview. I was a bit worried because I heard through the grapevine that a major company restructuring was happening, and everyone looked exhausted.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. It started with a 30-minute HR screening, then a 30-minute meeting with the Hiring Manager. After that, there was a half-day onsite meeting. Just a heads up, the response times between meetings and after interviews tend to be pretty long.
