Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process moves quickly, setting up many conversations with different stakeholders and people in similar roles for culture fit checks. It takes up a lot of your time and makes you feel like you're making progress. But then, all communication suddenly stops. There's no feedback at the end, even if you reached the final selection stage.

There were 6 interviews total, each lasting 20 to 30 minutes. I spoke with HR and the hiring manager first, then moved on to interviews with Directors and other company representatives. All of these were done remotely online, with no in-person meetings. The company was moderately transparent throughout the process.

The whole thing was pretty relaxed. I had two interviews first, then a big, cool assignment to do. After that, I interviewed with one of the team members, and it all wrapped up with a final interview with the managing director.
