Had a brief phone chat. Two people were there, one from HR and one from the program team, and they didn't seem too bothered about my background. They just asked me things about how I deal with juggling lots of tasks when time is tight.

There were two interviews. The first was a behavioural interview where they asked about my past experiences, resume items, and why I was interested in the company. They also asked hypothetical, open-ended questions to gauge my thought process. The second interview was technical and included one SQL question, one Leetcode problem, and a question involving creating a UML-based flow chart.
