Coding Technical Behavioral
I applied online for a bootcamp program at the company where graduates are hired into roles like backend or fullstack. The first step was an online assessment with one question that took about 2 hours. It was focused on correctness and attention to detail with edge cases, not performance. Next, there was a brief phone call to clarify details about the program. Following that, I had two interviews at their Petah Tikva office: one with HR and another with a technical person. These focused on discussing my experience, knowledge, and interests, rather than typical LeetCode-style problems, though they did ask about improving the performance of the initial assessment's solution. After this second stage, successful candidates received offers. The overall experience was positive, despite not feeling a strong connection with the interviewer during the technical discussion.

Behavioral Technical
So, the interview started with a screening, which was pretty standard. After that, I had a technical interview with two team leads. The first 5-10 minutes involved a question about why I'm looking for new opportunities. I mentioned that my current company lacks proper work processes and a clear chain of command, and I'm seeking a more stable environment. The remaining two hours of the interview went really well. They mentioned I'd receive a two-hour online task soon after. However, after a few days of no contact, an external recruiter reached out. Apparently, they felt I was too critical of my previous employer. Despite being happy with my technical skills, they decided not to move forward. The whole process was also quite slow.

It started with an HR call, then a technical interview with two senior team members or the team lead and a team member. After that, there was a home assignment to build a Todo List app with a database. This was followed by an interview discussing the home assignment. The final step was an HR interview at the office. All interviews except the last one were on Microsoft Teams.
