Candidate-reported interview process

It was a pretty normal interview process, lasting almost 7 hours. The people were nice overall. The campus is huge, so getting between buildings took some time. They didn't focus on my background, but instead asked questions directly related to the job requirements, which made sense.

There were 3 interviews in total. The first one was a phone screen. The second one was about my resume and past experience. The third one was a behavioral interview. The interviewer said I would get a recommendation for an offer, but I ended up getting rejected.

Had three interviews total. First was super quick and casual, like a preliminary chat. Second was a technical one where they asked about stuff on my resume. The last interview was behavioral.
