The interview process was pretty long, but overall it went well. It consisted of a phone screen, an interview, and an assessment. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and provided helpful information. I was contacted by the team lead and HR within a week after my interview.

The interview process was quite fast, though it spanned a considerable duration. I had a video call where we discussed my internship compensation, and they decided to offer me a 3-month position. Despite the quick interview, I gained a lot of knowledge during my time there.

The interview process started with an email screen and then I had a virtual interview with two managers. They were very professional and respectful. They asked a few scenario-based questions. After that, it moved to a reference check and then an offer letter.
