Process
The interview process began with an initial call, followed by a personality test, then a behavioral interview, and finally two technical interviews. The technical interviews involved designing a ticketing system and outlining a high-level architecture.
The early stages of the process were a bit messy due to frequent handoffs between recruiters. This led to miscommunications, such as initially being told the role was remote, only to later discover it was hybrid.
