It's a panel interview, probably with the team you'd join. They give you the questions first, then ask some follow-ups.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview processes were great. I made it to the second interview. But based on my observation, I notice that the process lack structure. They actually sent me an automated email that I did not get selected for the next process, but the administrative assistant assured me that this was a mistake and to ignore the email. I did find this a red flag. The first and second interviews had five-person panel. After the second interview, they told me they'll update me with the news within one to two weeks. One month later, radio silence, even after few professional follow up emails. I thought that was quite rude for an employer to ghost job candidates, especially after second round of interview! I have to assume that they selected another candidate and was just too lazy to let me know. I definitely dodged a bullet with DRC. Oh well. This is just to keep in mind that it is the new normal that DRC will most likely ghost job candidates after rounds of interviews. Don't expect them to reply back to you.

The interview process was a panel with 5 interviewers. They asked really bad questions that were impossible to answer. This department seems to have almost no training, and the whole experience was bad. I've seen others withdraw their applications after interviewing, and now I get why. This department needs major improvements.

They called me on the phone to start, and I got the questions ahead of time. I then had a panel interview where we went through those questions. It felt pretty standard. They mentioned that they'd either decide after this or have another interview round.
