Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
I got an initial HR interview where I had to present myself and my experience. The interviewer was very nice and made me comfortable. Then I moved on to a technical interview with a third-party company.
Questions
I first had an HR interview where I introduced myself and talked about my background and professional experience. The interviewer was very friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the conversation.
Next, I had a technical interview conducted by a third-party company. The discussion focused mainly on my current role, including my day-to-day responsibilities and the technologies I use. I was asked to explain what I do in my current job and describe the tools, frameworks, and technologies I work with.
