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 Coding Behavioral

After an initial chat at a career fair, which stood in for the first phone screen, I had a quick technical interview where I was asked to solve a coding problem. Then, there were 3 back-to-back 40-minute interviews via Google Meet. These included another coding problem, a technical discussion, and a personality-focused interview.

Behavioral Technical Coding

It started with a 15-minute HR call, pretty standard Q&A. The HR person was helpful throughout. Then there was a 30-minute technical screening with a developer, who was polite and talked about the company culture. Finally, there was an onsite with three 30-minute interviews back-to-back. Everyone was polite and patient. This was my first developer job interview, and I got a rejection email a few days later. I think it was mostly my fault for not preparing enough, but it was a good learning experience for the future!
