I had one formal interview and another one that was more casual, where we talked about different jobs and possibilities. Both people I talked to were nice. The first interviewer was pretty junior and didn't know a lot.

The whole hiring thing took a while, like almost 3 months from start to finish, mostly because of COVID and the holidays in December. HR was really good though, always keeping me in the loop and even asking for feedback to make things better. All the interviewers were on time, gave useful feedback, answered all my questions, and were just great people to chat with and learn from. Honestly, it was one of the better interview experiences I've had, even if it was a bit long.

I only had a screener interview. They asked standard questions to check if my resume experience aligned with the job. The interviewer seemed happy that I was a good fit, said they'd follow up, but then ghosted me.
