Technical Behavioral
The whole process involves 2 interviews. First is a technical interview that is mostly about hard skills and is quite fast with 1 or 2 engineers. The technical questions were not difficult, just some basic stuff for the area. Second interview is much longer and harder, with 4 directors grilling you on how you'd solve interpersonal issues, deal with colleagues and bosses, your work methods, goals, and what you'd do if a project is behind schedule. They then offered a salary that was insultingly low, less than 500€/month than I was already making, and said they prefer to reward employees with things like 'work abroad opportunities'. I'm already an expat, my whole life is a work abroad opportunity. So I refused the offer.
