The process was longer and more difficult than expected for the role. Some interviewers came across as dismissive and not very respectful, which left a poor impression. The technical questions were reasonable in difficulty, but the overall tone of the interviews felt unfriendly.
Asked about experience listed on resume. And asked to explain about past work experience and any listed projects. Specifically, about how you as an individual contributed and they asked further about any listed technical skills that were relevant to their tech stack.
