It was a panel interview with 3 people: the hiring manager and two supervisors. I wasn't expecting a panel interview, so it was a surprise. Each person asked different kinds of questions. One supervisor asked about my experience, another asked about my knowledge of the job, and the hiring manager asked personal questions about my background and goals.

Behavioral Technical

It was a really structured process with the same set of questions for everyone interviewing for the role. Sometimes they'd ask follow-up questions based on my answers, but everyone got the same initial questions. The same interview panel was used for all candidates to ensure fairness.

Behavioral Presentation

I had an interview with DCAMM. It was a panel phone interview, then a video chat panel interview. They went through a list of standard questions. The whole process took over four months from application to job offer, with periods of no communication. When the offer was made, I had to negotiate for more time to consider it, and HR threatened to withdraw the offer. The team seemed good and the work interesting, but HR was not great.
