Interview
The pre-interview was on Hangouts. The recruiter asked me about my resume, my qualifications, my job experience, my GPA etc.. She wanted to get to know me more, to see whether I also had the personality profile needed. She asked ma about hackathons that I attended, and courses that I had taken. It wasn't a technical interview.
