Behavioral Technical
It was a really disappointing experience. I was super prepared, and having interviewed at other big companies, I thought this would be a smooth, natural conversation. But the interviewer seemed uninterested from the start, like she'd already decided and was just going through the motions. The whole thing was awkward. I tried to lighten the mood, but got no reaction. She kept asking the same things, almost like she wanted me to slip up. It wasn't helpful at all. I knew I wouldn't get the job, and honestly, by the end, I didn't even want it if they offered. And this was for a temporary 3-month gig! No wonder they're struggling.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
The interview process moved quickly. I first got a call from the hiring platform I applied through. After a brief 5-10 minute chat with them, my application moved to Bulb. Next, I got a link for an online assessment. Once I passed that, I was invited to a virtual assessment. This assessment included several exercises to gauge problem-solving, prioritization, and phone etiquette skills. The day after the assessment, I found out the outcome.

First, there was a short 10-minute assessment, then a 20-minute phone call. After that went well, I was asked to come back for a 5-hour virtual assessment, which is unpaid. On the day of my virtual assessment, I waited for a link or a call or email about it, but I heard nothing. They didn't send a link, even though I bought a webcam for it. I woke up at 8 am on my day off (I work late, so I only got about 4 hours of sleep). I think this process is a joke, especially for a customer service assistant role, which is basically what this job is, and they can't even be bothered to reply.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Group
After being screened by the recruiter and hiring manager, I went through multiple rounds of interviews. It was a panel setup, with three sets of two people and three individual interviews. There was also a task involved. The interviewers were a mix of team members and stakeholders. I did have to follow up for feedback, as it took a week after the expected 24-hour turnaround. Despite the many rounds, the feedback provided was very brief, just one line.
