Process
The process was long and involved multiple interviews.
It started with a first coding interview online, followed by a corporate HR interview.
Next was a technical interview with a local office engineer.
The final interview included additional local office staff.
The technical interview with the engineer was difficult; they asked mostly about theoretical concepts, not hands-on skills.
Questions
They dove deep into my resume and asked specific questions about topics that were used on there, specifically multithreading and socket communication.
