Process

I had the smoothest experience with the recruiting team, which provided all the resources for interview preparation and intensively supported me throughout the process. The online interview went great, but the onsite interview was the best. The interviewing engineers were friendly and smart; it was a great pleasure to have conversations with them and discuss problem solutions. At the end of the process, I received the most thorough feedback for my performance.
