Interview
I was asked to prepare a presentation about the project I am most proud of. The Team Lead who interviewed me for her team didn’t listen to me. She said she didn't need my presentation and would prefer a live talk. I ended up wasting my time on the presentation for nothing. In the end, she only wanted to hear about specific numbers and another project. In general, she lacks soft skills, and I felt pressured.

30 min screen call
60 min manager talk
4-hour case study presentation + 1:1 meetings
No take-home or whiteboarding challenges. The recruiter (Patricia) was amazing as well as the team. I never felt lost and at the end of my "on-site", the manager (Andrew) gave me feedback on my performance. One of the best interview processes I had in my life
