Technical Behavioral
It began with a quick call from the recruiter, then we had two technical interviews back to back. The final stage consisted of three technical and behavioral interviews done in one go. The interviewers were tough but super helpful, they’d point out mistakes and seemed to really want you to do well.

Technical Behavioral
They started by asking about my previous programming experience and then had some small tests. They also asked how I'd handle certain situations. It felt like they were more interested in my problem-solving approach than whether I got the exact right answers.

Technical Coding Case
We met at a career fair, and then I was invited for on-grounds interviewing. I had to reschedule because I was out of town. It took a while for the recruiter to get back to me, but they eventually set up a technical phone interview. It was more technical than I anticipated, focusing on technologies from my resume, requiring detailed knowledge of their functions. After that, I was invited to their office for the on-site interview. They were very accommodating with scheduling. The on-site consisted of 4 one-on-one 30-minute interviews with different employees. Some interviews were more technical than others. They used puzzles, brain teasers, and tested my coding ability. They try to trick you, so it's important to be confident in your own work.
