The interview process felt unusual compared to most technical interviews I've had. Many of the questions seemed heavily focused on specific terminology and patterns, and it sometimes felt as though the goal was to elicit particular buzzwords rather than understand my reasoning or problem-solving approach.

I also came away with the impression that candidates might, intentionally or not, be helping to improve or train an AI-based interviewing system through their responses. Of course, I can't say that's actually what's happening; it was simply the impression I got from how the interview was structured and the types of follow-up questions asked. Overall, if you're interviewing with Micro1, I'd recommend being prepared to clearly explain concepts using common industry terminology, in addition to demonstrating your technical knowledge.

Most of the questions were based directly on my CV and things I had said about myself, with the interviewer digging into my past experience, projects, and specific claims I'd made.

It felt very personalized rather than asking generic technical questions.
