Behavioral Technical

The interview process had two rounds, with two interviewers each time. It felt more formal than at other places. They were actively writing down my answers, which made me feel like they weren't fully engaged with what I was saying and were perhaps too focused on note-taking. It was also a bit hard to gauge their reactions. Nevertheless, reaching the second interview felt like a small win.
