The interview was pretty standard and professional. It kicked off with a quick chat about my background, my education, and why I'm interested in working here. After that, they asked me some general questions about my skills, what I hope to achieve in my career, and how I see myself in this role. They also threw in a few questions about my behavior and what drives me. Overall, it felt well-organized, friendly, and they were looking at both my personality and how I'd fit in.

The interview was remote because I was out of state. I met with a few people and we talked about past projects and my interest in joining the team. It was a good experience overall. The interview felt more like a conversation than a series of quick questions.
