Candidate-reported interview process

So first it was mostly behavioral for like 30 minutes. Then the second interview was 30 minutes behavioral and then another 30 minutes technical. They asked basically just about the company and how they make money, things of that sort.

The interview was entirely online, and it lasted about 30 minutes. There wasn't even a person, it was just online prompts asking me questions. I bet they had a lot of applicants, being the New York Location.

Mostly behavioral. Make sure you know about the company and their revenue streams. Research the position to understand daily tasks. Talk to as many people connected to the role as you can.
