Interview
Overall, it was pretty straight forward. I had an interview with the hiring manager. They didn't explicitly warn me they were going to have a technical portion, so I didn't prepare for that. But that was most of the interview. It almost felt like he was asking questions off of a test and writing down everything I was saying.
