The first stage is typically a phone or video interview with a recruiter, who will ask general questions about your experience and qualifications to determine whether you are a good fit for the company.

The technical interviews are typically conducted via video conference and focus on your problem-solving and technical skills. You may be asked to solve coding problems, answer technical questions, or work through hypothetical scenarios. Depending on the position you are applying for, you may also be asked to participate in a design review or present a project you have worked on.

These interviews focus on your work style, communication skills, and ability to collaborate with others. Finally, if you successfully pass all stages of the interview process, you will be given an offer, which will include details about your compensation, benefits, and other aspects of the job.
