It was a 4-round process: first HR, then the Hiring Manager, then a Cross Functional Team, and finally a conclusive round with the Hiring Mgr. The interviews were pretty relaxed and felt natural, not like a typical interview.

Technical Behavioral

I went through four interview rounds in total. There were 3 technical interviews and then one with an Operations Manager and HR. The whole process took about a month to finish. I felt the interviewers were really professional and nice throughout. The questions were challenging but good because they let me show what I know and my experience. Overall, it was a positive experience.
