Process
HR will schedule a time for two phone interviews. These typically last 30 minutes to 1 hour with a full-time engineer.
They are heavily focused on your own experience on other projects.
Technical questions often stem from your answers. They want you to talk as much as you want, so be friendly and relaxed.
A good portfolio goes a long way, so have your projects well-documented.
