Process

The technical interview was 1 hour and very straightforward. Questions were asked in rapid-fire fashion, covering a variety of topics to gauge your technical breadth. The difficulty of the questions was easy-medium.

My advice is to practice answering technical questions as clearly and concisely as possible. Be confident in your answers. The questions aren't hard; I believe my interviewer was looking for how I answered them, though. Don't give messy and convoluted answers. Organize your thoughts. If asked to do a phone interview but video is an option, choose video and look your best.

Overall, the interview itself was fine. I made my own mistakes by not giving clear/concise answers. My interviewer was nice in the beginning, but he seemed a bit condescending as the interview went on, which left a bad taste in my mouth.
