Interview
Basic interview process..
1st Recruiter
2nd Manager
3rd SR Manager
Overall it was nothing crazy, but hard to impress since I was from outside of the business.
Team was nice and everyone quickly sold me on the company and overall focus on professional growth.
It was long but they thoroughly test knowledge.
They ask about KRAs and ability to showcase previous work.
It was medium hard. I recommend taking being confident in your existing work.

Interview
The hiring process felt unprofessional and poorly executed. HR asked challenging, on the spot questions that seemed designed to pressure the candidate rather than assess relevant skills, many of which were not aligned with the responsibilities of the role. The interviewer also appeared unprepared to discuss the position in detail. Overall, the process felt disorganized and raised concerns about professionalism, recruiting standards, and internal coordination.
