Technical Behavioral Case
So the interview is like two parts: first, there's this HireVue thing where you answer like three questions on video about your background, tech knowledge, and how you solve problems. If you do good on that, then you get to the final round. This one's heavier, you might talk to several people like hiring managers or senior folks. It's usually tech questions, behavioral questions, and maybe some case studies or situations to see how you'd handle stuff, showing off your skills and if you'd fit in. It can take anywhere from 30 mins to a few hours. Then they'll think about it and let you know within a week or two.

Behavioral
The process was pretty straightforward. First, I chatted with some HR folks at the college career fair. Then, I applied online and about five weeks later, I had a phone interview. The questions were mostly basic HR stuff, heavily behavioral. I'd prepared using Glassdoor, and the questions were indeed similar to what other reviewers mentioned. Good luck!
