Had two quick virtual interviews. The job description was pretty vague about what the role would actually entail, but they were looking for someone to jump onto some very specific projects that I don't have experience with, though I was willing to learn. Felt like it was kind of a waste of time.

Behavioral Presentation
The whole thing was pretty straightforward. I chatted a few times with a recruiter who helped set things up. They brought me in for an interview, and I talked with my potential manager and a colleague about the role, my background, and why I was interested. After that, they gave me a tour of the office and introduced me to some of the other engineers and project managers. The whole interview process wrapped up in under two hours.
