Interview
The interview process was smooth and straightforward. It consisted of an initial phone screening followed by a technical interview. The technical part wasn’t too challenging, focusing mainly on basic programming concepts and problem-solving skills. Overall, it felt well-organized and professional without being overly complicated.

Question 1
I explained that I have extensive experience using Git for version control, including branching, merging, and resolving conflicts. I also mentioned using Git in collaborative environments, contributing to large codebases, and following best practices like writing clear commit messages and using pull requests for code reviews.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY !!! What a terrible interview process, was reached out by HR person on Linkden to interview. I said sure why not. She set me up with an interview with the hiring manager, it was totally unprofessional.
Mid way in the interview he said that he misread my resume and no longer wanted to continue the interview. Highly unethical and unprofessional interviewer. Honestly I have had better experiences when apply for waiter/sales jobs at random companies when I was a student.
