Technical Behavioral
the process has been really great so far. After the initial phone call with the recruiter, which was super friendly, I had my technical interview. I was a little nervous, but it was actually a really good experience. The interviewer was super nice—it was one of the senior developers on the team I'd be working with. He didn't just grill me with questions; we had a real conversation.
