Behavioral Technical
It started with a phone screen where I had to walk through my resume. After that, it was either a Skype or on-site interview, depending on how far I lived from the company. For the Skype or on-site, I met with someone from the team and the general manager. They mostly asked questions about my resume and M&A. Since I'd taken an M&A class, I knew some stuff about their business.
