Process
I completed a technical assessment via Codility, then was invited to a series of three interviews in a single day: two technical and one behavioral.
Overall, the experience was positive, although the behavioral interview felt more like an interrogation than a conversation.
The standout part of the process was my recruiter. They were friendly and supportive throughout. I also appreciated that I wasn’t ghosted afterward.
