Interview Process

The interview process included a video interview where I was asked various technical and behavioral questions to gauge my fit for the role. The interviewer focused on my previous project experience and how I approach problem-solving. I felt the conversation was engaging, and I was able to demonstrate my skills effectively. Afterwards, I was informed that I would be evaluated and hear back regarding the next steps in a few weeks, which was somewhat nerve-wracking. I am still waiting for the final feedback from the hiring team, and I hope to receive a positive outcome.
