First, there was a 30-minute in-person behavioral interview. Then, a 30-minute Zoom technical interview with the program manager followed. The interviewers were really friendly and mostly discussed my previous projects and experience. There were some technical questions that followed up on my experience and some behavior questions.

Behavioral Technical
The recruiting team reached out on LinkedIn. They're really good at cutting down on hiring paperwork and costs, which is great. I got to chat with the hiring team a bit before applying online, which felt like a win-win. Then, I had one video call with different team members, followed by a full day onsite. They paid for my travel expenses for the onsite. Everyone was really open about what to expect throughout the process and kept communication flowing. The team seemed to have a strong culture of always improving and mentoring each other. It was a good experience overall, even though I haven't received an offer yet.

They gave me only three availabilities to choose from, so I skipped one of my classes. I dressed up and was ready for the interview, but the interviewer didn't even open the camera. They rushed and talked so fast that I had to ask twice to repeat the question. There were awkward moments of silence because they were taking notes, and it felt like an investigation!! Finally, after all the hassle, they rejected me as soon as I mentioned that I have dual citizenship. Don't even bother applying if you have dual citizenship.
