First, I had an initial team intro meeting. Then, I met with a senior SWE manager for some behavioral questions. Finally, I had the last round with two different senior SWEs, which was a mix of non-coding technical and behavioral questions.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process focuses a lot on behavior. You should expect at least one technical interview. If you get to the behavioral interview stage, it means you've performed well enough to get the job, based on my experiences.

Behavioral Technical
The interview experience wasn't great, and I noticed some red flags early on. The recruiter was nice and easy to communicate with, which was a plus. However, during the technical interview, it was obvious the interviewers weren't really engaged. It was a panel with the tech lead and two other engineers. The tech lead kept his camera off the whole time, and the other two engineers seemed preoccupied with their own work, looking away and not fully participating. Overall, I wouldn't apply to this company again.
