The interview process was nice and straightforward. It started with a short introduction about myself, followed by a discussion about my previous projects and hands-on experience. The interviewer seemed genuinely interested in understanding my technical background and how I approach problem-solving. The interview lasted around 45 minutes and included a mix of technical and conceptual questions. There were a few puzzle-style questions to test logical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as several database-related questions, mostly focusing on SQL concepts, relationships between tables, and query optimization. Overall, the process felt fair and conversational rather than overly formal. The interviewer was friendly and gave me time to think through my answers. It was a good balance between technical depth and personal fit.
