Had a face-to-face technical interview focusing on programming skills. Then, there was a telephonic and/or face-to-face interview with the onsite manager. Even though I was selected for the role, they eventually offered me the job after a 6-month period.

I had two phone interviews first, then they did a background check. After that passed and they checked references, I was invited to a 1:1 interview on site that was pretty straight forward.

Case Presentation Behavioral

I interviewed with three different people, one in person and two over the phone. It went pretty smoothly overall, but they did a lot of background checks. They had me do a simulation where I had to sell to someone over the phone to check my skills and competency. Some tough questions, but they were fair. It was one of the more thorough interview processes I've been through.

Behavioral Presentation

Got an internal recommendation which led to a phone interview, then an onsite meeting with the hiring manager and their supervisor. The vibe was super friendly, and I felt ready for the questions they threw at me. I made sure to bring along examples of my past work, which they really liked because it really showed I could do the job.
