It was one 40 minute round. They asked a lot of general technical questions about my projects and experience, and also talked about my resume. They asked me to 'Tell me about yourself?' and 'Why PCA?'. Also, be ready for OOP concepts and basic questions like the difference between a class and an object.

The interview process varied slightly by location, but the questions were generally consistent. It felt more like a relaxed conversation than a high-pressure interview. It's a good idea to prepare some questions to ask the interviewer about the company or the role itself.
