Process
The interview was very casual and lasted for 1 hour. Three interviewers switched off asking questions throughout the process and left time for me to ask questions at the end. The entire interview was conducted virtually over Teams.
It was a conversational experience, and I appreciated not talking by myself for most of the time.
