I had a phone screening with the recruiter, which went well. Then I had a Microsoft Teams interview with 2 leads and a Sr. Software Developer from the team where I just talked about my experience. The last round was an in person interview at their location in Alexandria, VA where I just met the team and they could ask me any questions that they had while looking at my resume, pretty informal. They were looking for someone who could "hit the ground running" for an entry-level software development position.

Technical

Applied online after seeing the job advert on LinkedIn. Took 2 months to get a call for a telephone technical interview. The whole process was long and slow. What was worst was the number of recruitment agencies involved. Even after applying, about 10 different agencies called about the same role. It was very disorganised. Happy to say I didn't get an offer and won't consider them in the future.
