Entrevista
I was emailed to schedule a technical assessment after applying. I met with the facilitator, we spent about 2-3 minutes introducing ourselves, and then began the technical challenge.

Overall, the experience was demanding, but I was thrilled to receive an offer, which I happily accepted.
