The interview process was pretty straightforward. It started with a phone screening call, then there were two virtual interviews with the team. It moved pretty slowly though, and after the last interview, I never heard back. I even followed up with the recruiter twice to get an update, but they ghosted me. It would have been better if they had just told me I wasn't selected instead of leaving me hanging.

the interview process was very nice, they asked many questions and we were able to answer it amazingly. the process was smooth and it should not be considered as stressful. they conducted the interview in-person and had to be there at the office.
