Technical Behavioral
It was a very formal and decent introduction, the process was transparent, and the interview environment was good. The questions were moderate, and with a good understanding of BI, one should be able to answer them. It was a good combination of theory, practical approach, and real-world scenarios which gave a good opportunity for a healthy discussion.

Behavioral
The hiring process at Birst was quite unprofessional. Initially, they scheduled a phone interview but then missed the call. After apologizing, they rescheduled for about a week later. This conversation went well, and they invited me for an onsite interview with other team members. However, just 10 minutes before the scheduled time, they called to cancel, stating they had already extended an offer to another candidate. My onsite interview was cancelled at the last minute, showing a lack of organization and professionalism. I'd advise confirming your interview details before heading out.
