Process
Great interview process overall, with good questions from both HR and the technical team. The interview was conducted online and started on time. The technical interview was with a current engineer who was very enthusiastic to ask questions and wait for my response. They shared a bit about the technical workings of the company and the day-to-day. A good overall experience.
