Behavioral
It was a friendly, accessible, and kind interview process, although challenging. I was invited for a second round. They offered me a different position than the one I applied for, on a temporary basis, and then let me go during the first hiring freeze. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I wish I had joined the team. The canteen was great!
