Hey! I just had my call. It was pretty chilled but I am not sure tbh. The interviewer seemed to be rushing.

Oh wow that’s good to hear! Did you do anything before your interview like call or email anyone to make sure they called or did you think they just knew the time to be there?

I sent an email to the recruitment team the day before asking for clarification and confirmation but they never got back to me. The next morning, I received an email with just the interview time and no other context. When is yours scheduled for?

The interview was more about my interest in the company. A lot of the questions were follow up questions from what I previously said during the interview. It's nothing to worry about. Also, there is an assessment center after the phone interview.
