A group of candidates was being interviewed simultaneously. We all joined a waiting room together, where we were greeted by the hiring manager. This was followed by two one-on-one interviews with other people in similar roles.

The first was with someone in the role; the second was with a software engineer.

Questions were oriented around past experiences in relation to the supplied prep material, which is worthwhile regardless of getting the position. No work demonstration was required.
