Challenging!!!! Many non-technical questions, although those were not as difficult as the programming related questions. Those are nothing like I had seen in my prep and practice sadly. Although the interviewers were very nice and I liked my experience overall.
The interview process was smooth. The recruiters always made sure that the candidates time who are interviewing for them is being valued. The questions that were asked reflected how my day to day work at this organization would look like.
