Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was 8-10 rounds total, with a bunch of people like direct managers, senior managers, the director of development, the director of SCM, the HR director, a VP, and others. Since it was during the pandemic, everything was online via Zoom, with some days having like 3-4 interviews back-to-back. HR did an early screening, and they also handled the offer conversations at the end.
