It was a panel interview with 3 members over Teams. Preparation felt manageable because similar questions are widely available online. They asked me 3 behavioral questions, each focusing on a particular behavior, and 2 strength-based questions.

Technical Behavioral Presentation

So, first there were some online tests, like math and english stuff, and this ethics test where you had to pick the best option out of four. Then there was this big written submission where I had to give examples of times I showed certain behaviors, instead of a regular cover letter. After that, I had a video panel interview.
