Behavioral Presentation

So the whole process had two parts: first, a call with HR, and then an in-person interview. The second interview was about an hour long. The people interviewing me were nice and professional, it felt pretty welcoming. They also told me a lot about the company's past, what they believe in, and where they're heading, which was good to know about their vibe.

This interview experience was really unprofessional because they switched interviewers on the day of, and they seemed unprepared. They asked a lot of questions that felt useless, and I got the impression they weren't actually looking to hire anyone, making me feel like my time was wasted.

I interviewed with a partner who was very friendly. The questions were of average difficulty. They liked my employment history, so I was offered a position, which I accepted. I'd recommend it as a great place to work with good work/life balance.
