The interviewers were multi-staged. First interview was more behavioral but some questions quizzed on company founding knowledge which were unrelated to the role. Following stage interviews were 3 hours and I was test on hypothetical situations and had to answer questions in written form on a google doc.

His explanation was logical and gave me a better understanding of the team's high standards.
