The interview process was relaxed and conversational. It included a mix of straightforward technical questions covering web development fundamentals and behavioral questions about past experiences, teamwork, problem-solving, and motivation.

Interview
It was super engaging, the interviewers were writing my responses as i said them. There were 2 interviewers and they both seemed very sweet. It was quite fast paced, and the interview involved a total of around 8 questions. the first few questions were just asking to introduce myself, talk about my resume and more, but there were 3 short form technical questions too (1 lc easy, 1 SQL query and 1 high level cloud question)

Interview
Very easy imo. Starts off with basic behavioral questions, then Object Oriented Programming, then object oriented design/design patterns. They also asked me about cron jobs as well, but at that time I had no idea what that was. However, that topic was still in the list of candidate requirements that was given to all applicants in the job description itself, so make sure to study the list of requirements.
