The interview process was pretty simple, just two stages. First, we had a quick chat about my background, why I want this job, and some basic stuff. Then, there was a second interview where we went deeper into my skills, past experience, if I'd fit in with the team, and what I expect from the role.

The whole thing took like 1-2 months from when they first reached out to when they gave me the offer. There were three interviews: one with HR to screen me, then the hiring manager, and finally the head of the department. Oh, and I had to do a short writing assignment too. It was all pretty standard and not too tough.
