Behavioral Technical
Started with a screener, then had two rounds of interviews with 3 people each, and then a final round. It was a total of 8 interviews, super repetitive. Got good feedback but then was ghosted after the final round. Everyone was nice though and the team seemed supportive.

The first part was a chat with HR. It was pretty relaxed and we talked about a lot of things. They gave me some feedback at the end but then went quiet for a few weeks. Still, it was a good talk, and I learned a lot about the team and the company vibe.

So the interview process starts with like a quick phone screen. After that, we move to a more in-depth technical or skills assessment. Then, candidates will go through behavioral interviews, which includes situational questions. And finally, there might be a final interview with leadership or team members.
