Process
First, I was contacted by the hiring manager, then I had a 30-minute screening interview. I scheduled a whole day of interviews, including a presentation and 8 one-on-one interviews. The team is really nice; I enjoyed our conversations a lot.
Questions
Some open-ended questions, like if I'm designing a certain product, what parameters would you like to check? Some behavioral questions, like what motivates you?
