I applied online and got a call from them. They asked about my graduation and if I was interested in this role. We then set up a phone interview for the next week. I got an email confirming that the manager would call me at the scheduled time. But, the manager never called at the scheduled time. It's been two weeks, and they haven't reached out. Indeed confirmed they have moved on with their hiring process.

I had multiple rounds of interviews, about 4-5 total, all done virtually. Each interview was around 30-40 minutes long. There weren't any exams, but I did interact with an HR coordinator. No in-person interviews were part of the process. The interviews were generally focused on my background and how it fit with what the role requires.

First, I had a chat with the hiring manager, which was about seeing if I'd be a good fit and also getting into some technical details. Then, I interviewed with a senior leader, and we discussed the company's overall direction and future vision. Lastly, there was an interview with a peer, where I was asked general questions to get a better sense of the day-to-day responsibilities.

  • Tell me about a situation where you had to manage conflicting priorities and explain your approach.
