Process

Very easy. The interview process involved three phone interviews:

  • Behavioral
  • Technical
  • Mixed

These interviews were conducted with a team member, a first-line manager, and a second-line manager.

There was also homework to develop an application using relevant programming tools.

The interview with the team member focused on the work I would be doing. They acted as my tech lead for the onboarding process.

The interview with the first-line manager was a mix of technical and behavioral questions, and it covered my outlook for the company.

The interview with the second-line manager was mostly behavioral, and we exchanged questions regarding work at the company.

Questions

They ask you about items on your resume if they are relevant to what you will be working on.
