Technical Behavioral
First I had a recruiter call, then a phone screen with the hiring manager. After that, I had an on-site interview with about 8 people. Some interviewers weren't really trained on how to interview and it felt very hectic and erratic. Some people were more interested in showing off how smart they are instead of assessing my skills, while others were great. It's clear they have smart people there but they lack management skills. I also noticed it was very male-dominated.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
This was a really long interview process, which I think is good because they want to make sure they hire the best people. It took about a year from start to finish because the company was busy building a new plant. Since they have two locations in California and Delaware, some of the interviews were done via video. They also included a plant tour, which was a nice touch. It gave a good sense of the kind of work environment.
