The interview process started with an introduction about myself, then moved to a technical question about cloud database programming and another on network infrastructure. Following that, we discussed my career path for the next 10 years, what I can bring to the company, my strengths, my weaknesses, and my communication skills. This was followed by a question about reactive programming.

Behavioral
First, I talked to a recruiter, who seemed like a contractor rather than a full-time employee. The recruiter mentioned that the hiring manager wasn't interested in candidates coming from contract roles, even though I specifically said I was looking for a permanent position. This role also appears to be open annually, which makes me wonder if the company is a poor place to work or if the finance department is poorly managed.

It was a pretty typical interview process. First, I chatted with the internal recruiter, who was fantastic to deal with. After that, I had a phone screen with the hiring manager. Then, they had me come in for an onsite interview at their office.
