Got an email from the university department to start, then had a quick screening and a technical round. The role ended up being closed because they didn't have enough spots, even though it was a professional and friendly experience.

Coding Technical
I had an initial screening with a recruiter, then went through two technical interviews. The first one involved a live Python coding session where I had to solve 3 relatively simple problems. The second technical interview focused on SQL, and I was asked 3 questions. While the problems weren't overly difficult, the interviewers really dug into my problem-solving approach with follow-up questions.

Behavioral
I had a good chat with a recruiter and was really into the role. I sent over my availability for another interview, and it was all set, but then the team had to reschedule. I quickly sent them new times, and then, days later, I got an email saying they'd gone with someone else. It was a bummer how slow and unclear the communication was; it didn't feel very professional.
