The interview process was long but meaningful, involving multiple interviews with different teams. It lasted nearly two months, and the interviews happened during work hours, which was challenging due to the sheer number of them. The people were generally good, but the whole thing took quite a while.

Technical Coding Presentation Behavioral
I went through two interview sessions, each lasting about 2 hours. Each session had two interviewers: one was a Director and the other a Senior Software Engineer. We talked about the types of software development activities I've done, with a focus on security experience, deploying production code, and any side projects or studies I've done. Since I know Java, they asked some questions about Object Oriented programming. I mentioned I was learning Design Patterns, and they asked me to explain the Visitor Pattern on the whiteboard.
