The interview was pretty simple and direct. The person I spoke with was friendly and explained the job requirements well. They seemed happy to offer advice and coaching, showing they care about their team's development. The vibe was professional but also chill, so it was easy to talk and ask things.

I had a one on one call with them and they set up an interview. It felt pretty casual and chill. They asked some basic stuff like why I wanted to join the company and then a couple of questions about my past experiences dealing with customers and coworkers.

It was a pretty straightforward interview. They asked me about myself and my experience. The 'sell me this pen' question was a curveball. The manager was nice, but communication was poor. I'd recommend following up on your application to make sure you got the job.
