This was one of the best interview processes I've been through, although it did take a while, about two months from application to finish. Expect at least 3 interviews, with 2 being technical. Everything was done over MS Teams. First, a screening with HR, then an interview with the team manager, and finally an interview with the associate manager. The technical interviews were pretty basic, so if you've been studying advanced topics, it might be a good idea to review the fundamentals beforehand. All the interviewers were super nice and made an effort to make me feel comfortable. Overall, a good experience.

Technical Presentation
I went through two interviews, both were technical. I had to read CLI commands and outputs to figure out what was going on. They also asked some general questions, like what a DDOS attack is, and I had to explain it in a PowerPoint slide.
