Process

A recruiter contacted me about their interest in interviewing me.

I spoke with him on the phone and discussed my interests to gauge my fit for the role.

I then scheduled a one-hour technical interview with a team member using MS Teams. The interview consisted of typical coding problems.

A few days later, I was contacted with an invitation to a second interview. This round consisted of four one-hour interviews with different team members. Each interview was a mix of technical and behavioral questions.

I am awaiting a response regarding the results of these interviews.
