Behavioral Technical
It was an online interview that lasted about an hour. First, there was a 30-minute session with HR, followed by a 30-minute session with two team members. The questions focused on my working style and problem-solving approach. The atmosphere was really nice and relaxed. Then there was a second interview with more team members, which was also really nice and interesting. There was a small test, but it wasn't too difficult.
