The interview process was pretty smooth. I was told about the complete process at the very start and asked if I was comfortable going through three different interview rounds of 60 min each.
It was one of the most honest and heartfelt conversations I've had with any HR manager. She asked me about my goals and ambitions instead of simply focusing on skills and what I bring to the table!
All companies hire based on skills but only a few care about your goals and ambitions and aligning the position based on that: Asteroidx is definitely one of them.
It is one of the company's that take pride in its culture and that was reflected in the complete hiring process.

The process consisted of a pre-screening call and then followed by three 60 min video interviews, two with the HR representative (who was awesome) and the third with a another AsteroidX team member who was also awesome.
