Question 1
How your experience and interests coincide with the role?
It was a functional interview with a peer of the role. I was contacted by an offshore team that sent me the wrong schedule, luckily the interview called me on my mobile and we could continue. There was no preparation guide or information provided by the recruitment team on what to expect
