Behavioral Technical
After applying, I got an email saying my application was being reviewed. First, there was a behavioral chat about my career history, and then a week later, a technical interview where we talked about two relevant scientific journal articles. I was told I'd know in a week, but after that week passed, they said they'd let me know soon. Another week went by, and then I got the rejection.
