After that, there's a round to make sure you vibe with the company culture. Finally, you'll talk to people from other teams to check out your broader technical skills and how you work across departments.

Behavioral Technical
I had an initial call with HR, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked me questions about business interaction, which was strange given the job description stated it was a role with no business contact. He then asked about my personal life, which felt inappropriate. The interview ended abruptly after I mentioned this.
