It was a good and well-structured interview. The interviewer was friendly, and the whole thing lasted about 45 minutes. They clearly explained what would happen next. A manager and junior manager were there the entire time and asked me questions about my background and whether I'd be a good fit.

It was a 2 round interview process. The interviews were not long. They asked basic questions, which seemed vague to me. I would recommend it for some people, but it's not the right job for everybody. I only got asked five questions total in my second round interview and the interviewer didn’t even seem interested during the interview.

They were super detailed about what they wanted for their team, which was great. Made the whole thing feel really comfortable. I wish every interview was this good.
