Technical Behavioral
The interview happened over the phone and was super technical. They threw complex planning scenarios at me and asked how I'd tackle them. They didn't seem to care much about personality, probably just to filter out people who aren't technically up to snuff.

Technical Behavioral
Got a quick response after applying online. Then a phone call to set up an onsite interview. The interview itself was a disaster, taking up more than half a day with two unprofessional tests. They promised feedback the following week but never responded. A follow-up call resulted in another promise for the next week, still no response. An email inquiry led to a request for more time to decide. Two months later, I was rejected.
