Process

The interviewing was quite smooth, but the interview process, where we try to reach out to the HR for future communications, was a hassle.

I had to reach out for at least 2 weeks before I was presented with the next steps, and apparently the interviewing progress was also not updated.

Apart from that, I enjoyed meeting the team and discussing mutual goals.
