Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

We had an initial conversation with HR via phone (about the position, expectations, and questions about my professional experience). Then a live technical test on a HackerRank-style platform. It wasn't complex, but time was short. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly, and the interviews were smooth. The entire process is in English.
