The interview was conducted via video call and lasted about an hour. There were three interviewers on the call: a Manager, a Senior Developer, and a Developer. The company was actively looking for experienced developers, so the hiring process moved quickly. Since I was local to the company, I was in a favorable position to receive an offer.
