Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months.

I was asked a fairly standard set of interview questions of medium difficulty — nothing especially unusual or tricky. The interviewer was also very friendly and approachable, which made the overall conversation smooth and helped create a genuinely positive interview experience.
