The first interview went well, with some technical questions. They called me back to make an offer that was significantly lower than what I had previously stated my earnings were. They increased their offer weekly for four weeks, but never reached the minimum figure I had requested from the first interview. In the end, they even hung up on me. Terrible, and HR was absent.

Behavioral Technical

I first chatted with an HR representative who was very friendly and asked some initial questions. Before the next interview, HR sent me a detailed guide on how to prepare for it, which I found really useful and appreciated because most companies don't do that.
