The interview process was relatively difficult but nothing out of the ordinary. It involved two rounds of interviews, each designed to assess both technical skills and cultural fit. While the questions required thoughtful responses, the structure felt fair and transparent. After successfully completing both rounds, I was offered a full-time role, making the overall experience both challenging and rewarding.
