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?
