Question 1
What's one thing you would need support on if you were hired.
After a first interview (Ms teams due to covid) I did a 2nd round with live coding and some architectural questions. I had some connection issue, but people were supporting. At the end I had a chance for asking my own questions to different people from the r&d dept.
