The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

It was a peaceful and nice interview process, and it went fast. I didn't have much time to prepare, but I felt I did a good job. I'm confident I can do even better next time and hope to get an offer.Candidate-reported process
The process was straightforward. I went through 2 rounds. Round 1 was all technical, focusing on my background, projects, and some technical problems. Round 2 was more of a mix of technical and managerial, where I had to tackle some hypothetical situations and explain how I would handle them.Candidate-reported process
It was a pretty standard competency based interview with HR staff. I was asked to give examples of dealing with difficult customers, my experience etc. It was of average difficulty and resulted in a job offer at the end of the process.Candidate-reported process
