Behavioral Technical

I had one behavioral and one technical interview. The interview was pretty straightforward and easy. It took me two weeks to hear back after the technical interview, though some people heard back in 3 days.

Technical Coding

The interview process started with a phone call, then a second round technical interview over Zoom. They didn't require any code writing, but asked for high-level answers to technical questions. The interviewer was very friendly, even when I didn't answer a question perfectly.

Technical Behavioral

First, there was a phone screen. After that, I had a 30-45 minute technical interview. Then there was a final round. I didn't hear back from the recruiter about the timeline for the next steps. When I mentioned I had another offer but was still very interested in this role, they said I wouldn't be moving to the final round so as not to affect my other offer. My friends who were also interviewing said they waited up to 4 weeks after the recruiter told them they'd hear back.
