Behavioral

The interview process involved straightforward questions, not really behavior-based ones. The recruiter was great and very informative. The hiring managers were not as engaging or welcoming as the recruiter. Overall it was an ok experience.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I was contacted by HR and had an initial chat with them about my background and if I was a good fit. Then, I talked to the hiring manager about the job and what they expected. After that, I had to do an in-person business presentation to show them my skills, how I solve problems, and how I communicate.
