Entrevista
First two managers called for like a phone screen and basically wanted to know how interested I was. Then I was called back for the final interview which was 30 minutes with each of the 2 managers and then 30 minutes with the team. Team interview was chill, don't worry about that one. The interview with the two managers was half behavioral and half logic/riddles. They absolutely didn't go over my resume at all it was a bit strange and it seemed their decision was based on the logic questions. Each manager asked 2 logic questions, its common riddles you can google. It was a bit annoying because I believe anyone can get the answer within 10 minutes at most but there's def the pressure to get the answer within a minute. What really was annoying is that these were popular riddles so if someone got it right it could have just been because they heard it before.
