Behavioral
It was a really quick and chill process. Started with a 30-minute phone chat, and I think the next step was an in-person interview at their office. They asked standard behavioral questions and I got another interview scheduled really fast.

Behavioral Technical
I had multiple phone calls with HR reps before my in-person interview. I found out about another role that might be a better fit and asked if I could be considered, but was told it was more work for the same pay, so I dropped it. I think maybe she was focused on the original role or wasn't in charge of the other one. When I got to the in-person interview, I waited about ten minutes after arriving on time. It was a bit strange that no one from HR greeted me. I met with three people. The first one I clicked with and learned a lot about the job. The second guy seemed distracted, his office had kids' toys everywhere, and I felt like he was just killing time. The third person was alright. Something that made me uncomfortable was learning that it's generally not a good idea to ask questions, especially to senior people. Apparently, if I needed to talk to an application engineer, I'd have to get my boss to send an email because they're busy and get annoyed easily.

Behavioral Technical
Had a first interview with HR, it was just an overview and some personal questions. Then a second interview with another HR rep, which was very similar to the first, not sure why both were needed. The third interview was with the sales manager, it was more technical, asking how things work or why we use certain things. We also talked about company culture. I thought it went really well, and the interviewer mentioned setting up a final interview. However, 2 days later, I got an email saying I didn't get the job before I could even have the final interview.

- What are your long-term career aspirations?
