The process began with a 20-minute Google Meet call with HR, where they checked my availability, salary expectations, and gave a general overview of the role. Afterward, I was invited for an in-person interview at the office, and the environment was very welcoming and to the point. During the face-to-face conversation, I noticed the interviewers seemed a bit unsure about hiring me, subtly mentioning how qualified I was and the risk of turnover because I might seek new challenges quickly. The questions then focused on how I envisioned my mid-term career plan and what conditions would keep me motivated at the company.

It was a pretty standard process with 2 rounds total. The first was online and the second was in person. They were really professional and asked relevant questions. A background check was part of it all. The in-person part involved questions about my hard skills and if I could do the job, plus questions about whether I'd fit in with the team.

The interview felt amateurish and not well thought out. The person interviewing me didn't understand the position fully and the job description she gave me also didn't match what was referenced on LinkedIn. Futhermore the pay I was recieving for that position was so bad it was laughable and I only had to work 7 hours a week. As a student it seemed weird.

The hiring process usually starts with a preliminary interview to check if your skills are a good fit for the job. If an agency is handling recruitment, they'll do the initial screening. These screening interviews are usually quick, about 15-20 minutes, either by phone or video call. The goal is to pick out candidates for the actual first round of interviews.
