Behavioral Technical
I had one interview that was split into two parts. First, I met with the hiring team, which included the director and two managers. They asked me standard interview questions like 'Tell me about yourself,' 'Why do you want to work here?', and 'Why should we hire you?'. The second part involved answering some brain teaser questions.

Behavioral Technical
This was a pretty straightforward process with good people. It started with some rounds of interviews, including a behavioral one, then a technical screening. Be ready to talk about recent coding projects you've worked on and explain them. Also, know why you're interested in this specific opportunity.

Technical Behavioral
It involved multiple rounds of interviews. First, there was a phone screen, followed by an interview with junior team members, and finally, an interview with managers. HR was slow to respond after each interview stage and often didn't reply to emails. The managers were approachable and didn't expect extensive finance knowledge.
