Interview
The interview process was generally organized but had a few shortcomings. Communication could have been clearer, and scheduling delays caused minor frustration. The interviewers were courteous, though some questions felt loosely related to the role. Feedback took longer than expected. Overall, a somewhat mixed experience with potential for improvement.
