Interview
Interviewer did not seem to have read my resume and this lead to a lot of awkward questions I couldn’t answer because I did not have the experience that I would need to answer those questions
Remote only interviews via zoom. Multi-stage zoom interviews, with recruiting team, management and eventually leadership. Team was very nice to speak with, and very kind in providing feedback in a positive way.
