Technical Behavioral Case

This whole thing took about 10 business days from applying to getting the offer. The recruiter was super responsive and helpful. The interviews felt like they were actually about the job and what it involves. The interviewers were nice and paid attention. It was three interviews back-to-back, all virtual. They really want to see if you know your stuff technically and can communicate well. They took about a week to decide and then got back to me in a couple of days with a formal offer. Pretty great process overall.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was a pretty straightforward process. I had some initial phone screenings which were easy interviews. The technical questions didn't really come up until the later stages. There was a short technical assessment to do, and then an interview where we went over that assignment in detail.
