Technical Behavioral
The interview experience was really professional, and everything was scheduled and planned out nicely. It kicked off with a presentation where I showcased my work experiences and technical skills. After that, I had a bunch of 1-on-1 meetings. In these meetings, they asked me questions about why I'm interested in the job, my past experiences with technical projects, some specific technical stuff related to the role I applied for, and also about my soft skills for collaborating with others.

Behavioral Presentation
Had a phone interview first. Then they flew me out for an in-person interview where I met with 7 different people! It was surprisingly chill and laid-back. I also had to do a 30-minute presentation about my background. Everyone was really nice and we mostly talked about my resume. They threw some behavioral questions at me. Then I had two more phone interviews with colleagues who couldn't make the in-person meeting. Still waiting to hear back, only been a few days since those last calls.
