The overall interview experience was good and not too difficult. I had about three rounds of interviews where I spoke with multiple interviewers. I was able to answer their questions, although they seemed to find my lengthy responses a bit annoying. Despite that, I still received an offer.

I applied for a PKI team role and HR reached out to schedule an on-site interview. I skipped the phone screen, so the on-site was a 2-hour block. I met with the team and got asked about programming language concepts. The manager also asked some tough project-type questions. It was a good discussion, and I'd say even if you don't know something, be confident and ask. The offer outcome is delayed due to COVID.

I had a phone interview, then 2 in-person interviews the same day. The manager hinted at hiring me and promised a callback, but I didn't hear back for 3 weeks. When I called for an update, he said there was a hiring freeze. Two weeks later, the freeze was lifted and I was hired. He could have given better feedback.
