Process

I applied online. The process took exactly 1 month.

  • First Interview: The first interview was an easy and pleasant experience, lasting about 30 to 45 minutes. The interviewer was friendly and professional, which made the conversation comfortable. We talked about how my values and personality fit with the company’s culture, and I left with a great impression.
  • Second Interview: The second interview was a one-hour live coding session. The interviewer was easy to talk to and kept things relaxed, which helped me stay calm. If you are confident in your skills, it was a satisfying and enjoyable challenge.
  • Final Rounds (3rd and 4th Interviews): The last two interviews focused on my past work, the tools I've used, and how I work with clients. The interviewers were kind and supportive, which made the conversations smooth and enjoyable.

Overall, the interview process was well-planned and thorough. Each step tested something different, like technical skills, cultural fit, or work experience. It was challenging but a good experience.
