It was pretty easy, they just want you to be yourself. They are looking for someone who can thrive in a fast-paced environment and manage busy rushes. The whole process took about a week. It was an in-person interview, and then they called me back.

The interview process was pretty good and organized. It kicked off with a phone call where the recruiter gave me the lowdown on the job, asked about my past experiences, and checked my salary expectations. After that, I had a technical/functional interview with the hiring manager. They hit me with some scenario-based questions about how I would tackle job challenges and we also dove deep into my previous projects. The interviewer was nice but asked some tough questions to really test my knowledge.

Applied, recruiter set up a virtual chat, I did the interview and I had all the qualifications/skills/experience/education. The only thing I can think of is that my salary expectations were "too high." But I wouldn't know cuz I never heard back from them after 3 attempts to reach out. They couldn't even be bothered to send a rejection, they just completely ghosted me. Super unprofessional.
