Process
The interviews were not very technical but related to projects and all done during my engineering. Also, some HR-type questions were asked, like what are your short-term and long-term goals, why should I hire you, and so forth. In all, the interview was not very difficult, and they didn't ask any coding questions as the interview was on Skype.
