Process

Had a face-to-face interview on campus a few days after handing in my CV at the job fair. The interviewer was super nice and helpful during the interview process. Then, I went to an onsite interview. A co-founder gave a general talk for about 15 minutes, followed by six interviews (four technical, two general, and one lunch). The technical ones were almost the typical questions found online. However, I did not perform well. Some of the interviewers were very nice and helpful when I struggled, but some were not nice at all. However, they did care about my previous experience (projects). They did not follow the schedule strictly. In general, the interview process was very tough, but I learned a lot, especially about the nice culture of the company.

Was this helpful?
