Interview
I got two phone calls after application. One from my colleague and the other from head of the team. Most questions were about myself and my experience. For example, tell us about yourself, what's your fav tech products. And some questions were about basic industry knowledge such as the difference between hardware and software. People there are super nice and I enjoyed talking with them.
