Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty long interview process and they didn't give much feedback. The people I talked to were nice, but it felt like the company and the people there weren't clear about what qualifications they were looking for. Honestly, they could have made the whole thing shorter and run it more smoothly.

Behavioral Technical Coding
After I applied, the internal recruiter reached out and we did a quick phone chat. Then, I had another 30-minute phone call with a team engineer. After that, I got a homework assignment. The engineer mentioned it should take about two hours, but it ended up taking me a full day. I sent it back, and within a couple of days, they invited me for an on-site interview. The on-site lasted about 3 hours and included conversations with three engineers, the architect, and the project manager. The project manager focused on behavioral questions, while the engineers asked about the homework and my previous work. There were also some technical questions related to the context, but no whiteboarding was involved. I sent a follow-up after the on-site, but the recruiter seems to have gone silent, which is quite frustrating given the time I invested.
