The interview process was quite straightforward and went smoothly. The interviewer was incredibly friendly and approachable, which made me feel comfortable right from the start. However, the conversation was also highly technical, as the interviewer dove deep into specific technical questions and concepts. They asked detailed questions that tested my knowledge and understanding of the subject matter, which made it clear that they were looking for someone with a strong technical background. Despite the technical rigor, the interviewer's supportive demeanor made it an overall positive experience.
Took 3 weeks for application to move forward. 1 behavioural interview with a panel of 4. They don’t expect you to know everything but can ask scenario questions to understand how you think. then an offer within a few days. Whole process took about a month
