Question 1
Explain the process of a contract from initial stages to deliverables.
Several rounds of interviews, people seemed nice and forthcoming with information about the company. They eventually ghosted me and I reached out several times for an update but had to check the portal for my status change.

Question 1
They asked about very standard qualifications and certifications related to the job.
There was a phone screen with HR and then the hiring manager that transitioned to an in person interview with the hiring manager one on one. After the hiring manager it then progressed to a team interview with about 12 people.

Call with recruiter then video interview with hiring manager. Moved pretty quickly and was a good experience overall. Recruiter went into great detail about benefits package. In rejection email, recruiter addressed me as the wrong name.
