Behavioral Technical Coding
So there were like 2 phone calls and then 1 in-person. The first one was just a regular recruiter call, no tech stuff. Then the second phone call was technical, but like, pretty basic cuz you can't do much on the phone. The in-person interview was pretty intense, like 5 different groups of people asking about my career goals after graduation and some basic algorithm questions.

Technical Behavioral
This was a terrible experience with Boingo. The recruiter and employees were irresponsible. I had an interview where the interviewer asked me basic Java and networking questions, and at the end, said they'd schedule me for the next round. The recruiter was unresponsive, taking 5 days to reply to emails about scheduling. I almost gave up hope. A month and a half later, the recruiter contacted me about scheduling the next rounds, asking for my availability. The next day, they sent a message admitting it was a mistake and they had already selected someone else. I wish they wouldn't play with candidates' emotions and make them wait.
