Technical Behavioral
The interviews started with a phone screen, followed by a technical interview and then a personality interview, making it three interviews in total. I passed the first two but didn't make it past the final one. I think they were looking for someone with high potential in interpersonal skills (customer service experience) and problem-solving abilities, not just an average candidate. The HR person was really nice, and the workplace itself felt friendly and family-like.
