We talked a lot about my past work and projects, and then I had to answer some basic technical and conceptual questions about them. This was to see if I really understood things and could think critically and solve problems.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process for this role was more drawn-out and challenging than I anticipated. Some of the interviewers seemed quite dismissive and lacked respect, which left a bad taste. The technical questions themselves were moderately difficult, but the general atmosphere during the interviews felt unwelcoming.
