Behavioral Presentation
It was a really quick process with three interviews. First, there was a pre-recorded interview to screen me. Then, I had a virtual interview with some team members. The final interview was in-person with more team members, and it included a presentation about myself. They didn't ask any technical questions, focusing more on personality.

Behavioral Technical
I didn't get past the pre-recorded interview. After this interview, the hiring manager conducts a technical interview. I personally did not like the pre-recorded interview process, it's like a behavioral interview, but you have to record your answers, which doesn't feel like a real conversation with a recruiter.

I chatted with someone from the company at the university career fair, and then I had to do a pre-recorded interview. After that, a recruiter contacted me for a second interview over Teams. It was a pretty easy and chill process, and they only asked behavioral questions.
