Process
Initially, I had a phone interview with HR, which lasted no more than 10 minutes. I was asked to explain a project from my resume.
I knew the answers to the questions found on Glassdoor. A technical interview was set up a couple of weeks later.
Again, the questions were the same as those listed on Glassdoor. I answered almost everything correctly but was ultimately rejected. I'm not sure what they were looking for.
