Behavioral Technical
I went through three rounds of virtual interviews with Cooley. Everyone I talked to was nice and conversational. But after the third round, they just ghosted me. Every time I tried to follow up, they said they'd let me know the next week, but I never got a formal rejection. The whole process took too long and felt like a waste of time.

Technical Behavioral
I had interviews with the Manager and Sr. Manager on separate occasions. They asked me questions about the Workday technology and also asked behavioral questions. They were both very nice and easy going. Then I had one other interview with the Sand Francisco DOA who also got to know me, and that was more of an introduction and behavioral questions.

Behavioral
Went through three rounds of interviews, starting with HR, then two more with HR and staff members. Things were great until the last round. I wasn't really asked anything, and then HR didn't follow up when they said they would. Ended up being ghosted for weeks before getting a rejection email. Felt like my time wasn't really respected.

- Where do you see yourself in five years?
