Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Interview process consisted of two one hour long phone interviews. The first one for me was very dry and impersonal and consisted mostly of tech knowledge questions. The second was a little more personal and was focused more on situational questions. I was then offered to have an on site interview. This lasted almost 5 hours and included five 45 minute sessions with different members of management team. All situational questions including a lot of repeated questions from team members. I'm generally not one who likes to talk about myself so this process was grueling.
