The remote interview was done over Google Meet and it was super easy. I got an email before with instructions, which was helpful. The questions were clear and easy to understand, so I could explain my thoughts well. The interviewers were really nice, patient, and supportive, which made me feel comfortable. It was a smooth, professional, and organized process, just how remote interviews should be.

So the interview process was pretty standard and thorough. It started with an HR phone screening for about 20 minutes to go over my resume and the role. Then, I had an hour-long technical phone interview with the hiring manager. The final stage was a half-day onsite interview where I met with team members from the group I was applying for and also from related departments. The HR person and hiring manager were good about keeping me updated on the interview timeline and when a decision would be made.
