Behavioral Other
I interviewed for a job working with a federal agency. The interviewers seemed untrained in how to conduct interviews or the hiring process steps. The whole hiring process was a mess. The person I was supposed to follow up with about the job was a peer, not a supervisor, and couldn't handle negotiations. It's important to know who to talk to for negotiations. This was unclear, likely due to incompetence. I couldn't negotiate because the person who offered me the job had no authority to do so.

Presentation Behavioral Technical
The hiring and interview process were streamlined and the panel moved quickly. Since this was a research position (and not a faculty position), I was required to only submit my CV and a brief statement about what I wanted to accomplish in the job within the constraints of the announcement. The interview was remote access with a committee of six individuals. Each person asked a specific question, and others were allowed to weigh in the answers I gave or ask follow-up questions.
