Behavioral Technical

This was the most unprofessional software industry interview I've experienced. The hiring manager seemed disengaged, didn't review my resume, and mostly talked about himself and his past roles, even mentioning wanting to leave software. He also spoke negatively about other teams. The questions focused on tools and some behavioral 'tell me about a time' scenarios.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process was pretty straightforward. They asked me some basic technical questions about programming concepts, and also some general trivia about tech and current trends. It wasn't too hard, felt pretty normal. The interview was more like a chat, meant to see if I knew basic tech stuff and could communicate well, not so much about super deep algorithms.

You'll get an email from Vidcruiter within 72 hours with a link to complete Bell's one-way video interview by a deadline. The platform checks your camera, mic, and connection, and lets you practice recording. The actual interview has 5-8 pre-recorded questions. You'll have about 30-60 seconds to read each question and 1-3 minutes to record your answer, with no retakes. Once submitted, your video is sent. Recruiters and hiring managers review the videos. If you pass, you'll be contacted for the next step, which is usually a live technical or panel interview.
