Overall Experience:
Everyone I met where friendly. The recruiter shared updates within a week after each interview. During the onsite interview, after almost every question we had a short chat about related topics. And whenever the interviewer felt like we were drifting far from the list of questions he had prepared, he would stop and ask me the next question. The questions were all straightforward and not complex. Overall, it was an easy interview, and I had a good experience.
