The interview process was really efficient and made me feel comfortable. Everyone I met from different departments was super personable and friendly. If you've got a solid understanding of the basics, it should feel pretty natural. Just a heads-up, the aptitude test might have some stuff you'll want to brush up on. Overall, it wasn't an overly intense experience.

The interview started with a quick 30-minute online chat asking general questions about my background and what I'm interested in. After that, I had an on-site interview. This included two panel interviews where we dove deeper into my experience. They also asked a lot of questions about my personality and how I work. I got a tour of the facilities too. The team seemed really nice and seemed to really care about seeing if I'd be a good fit.
