Interview
Applied through the job board, took two weeks and got an email from HR to come in for an interview. Talked to HR representative, director, and technical lead. Nothing tricky or out of the ordinary, they want to know whether your skills and previous work will meet their current demands. They mostly asked about projects on resume and whether I had knowledge or experience with the technology they were working on(either programming language/framework/libraries)
