It was a phone call, and the interview time got rescheduled an hour before to a few hours later. They were also 10 minutes late calling me, which added to the stress. There was a lot of background noise. They seemed rushed, giving off recruitment agency vibes rather than the culture I expected from their ads. I think phone interviews aren't great because you can't really show off your experience or see body language, so they don't know when you're done talking. They asked basic questions already on my CV that didn't allow for much elaboration.

Really quick interview process, the team seemed great and the office was nice! Started with a 15 min intro call, then a 30 min video call with the hiring manager, and then an onsite where I met more of the team. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming, it felt more like a chat than a strict interview. The whole thing from the first call to getting the offer took under 2 weeks.
