Process
The interview process consisted of two technical interviews:
- The first was with a team member.
- The second was with the group leader.
They did not seem to read my resume carefully, as they asked questions about my experience.
The group leader decided to cut the interview short due to my specific experience. This was surprising, given that I had detailed everything on my CV and they had invited me to the interview.
This was one of the most peculiar and frustrating processes I had experienced.
