Had a quick and informal chat about my past work history and how I see this job. We talked about my background, where I've worked before, my main skills, what's driving me, and what I think the job involves and what's expected.

Went through one interview with management. If you are creative, maybe there's more? The whole process was pretty chill and not nerve-wracking. My manager was okay, not the best but not the worst either. I'd say it's a decent place to work, but maybe not for the long haul.

it was a pretty straightforward process, mostly about my availability, what I'm capable of, and my previous work experience. They just asked a few questions to make sure I was a good fit for the role. They were looking at my personality and how I interacted with the interviewer.
