Interview
Interview was several stages, first it was an hour long online text of some mcqs and 2 peoblems to solve, then i passed a certain score so was proceeded to do 2 interviews with 2 junior software engineers. First interview was good, second one I was actually fasting and tired since it was ramadan so I did really badly, what surprised me was that the interviewer mocked me and told me you seem to know nothing about this topic (was hash tables)
