The interview process was pretty easy, mostly focusing on resume-oriented questions like explaining your projects. Sometimes, they'd ask you to write code snippets. The process was smooth because it was conducted online, although a drawback was receiving the Teams links only five minutes before the interview.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Could you explain your projects?
  • Can you answer some basic questions about C programming?
  • Can you write pieces of code?

Technical Behavioral

The interview was really good, creating a productive and engaging atmosphere. From the start, you could tell the interviewer was genuinely interested, paid attention to details, and kept the conversation clear and to the point. This made the experience more positive and valuable. It also seemed like the interviewer had prepared beforehand, which made the exchange even more meaningful. The questions were well-crafted and showed knowledge of the subject, which raised the level of the conversation and allowed for deeper reflection on the topics discussed. Overall, the interview was tough, mainly due to the complex questions asked. This required more focus, quick thinking, and clear answers. Despite the difficulty, it was a great chance to show what I know and learn from the process.
