The interview rounds were pretty much a mix bag for me to be honest. It was fun for me to interview and be honest about my work so it could all sum up the opportunity and align the stars.
good interviewer, pushing me in the right direction. it was a 45 minute interview. one question was asked.No introduction or formalities. It was a Technical Interview which took place after an OA. The wait was long between the two.
