Had a Zoom interview with the lead engineer for the department. We discussed my experience, and they asked a couple of technical questions and some details about the position. The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes.

Behavioral

The interview was pretty relaxed. It started with discussing my job duties and a general overview of my resume. Then we went into detail about the projects and activities listed on my resume. We also talked about my education and interests, covering both academic and personal topics. When the interviewer realized he went to my university, and considering he was only a few years older than me, the interview shifted from a formal Q&A to a more casual chat about shared interests and hobbies.

Behavioral Technical

You will have interviews with three people: typically a manager, an engineer, and someone from HR. After the interviews, you'll get a tour of the place. It's a series of one-on-one chats, but you rotate through three different interviewers. For me, the manager interview was the toughest.
