Technical Behavioral Presentation
Had two online interviews with my future manager and their manager. Then a full day on-site where I presented my profile to the whole team, followed by individual interviews with HR, potential colleagues, my future manager, and their manager.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
So for this entry level position, I had a 30 minute call with my direct manager, then a 30 minute call with a hardware engineer. They mentioned an onsite interview was next, but then they added a whole new step: a 30 minute presentation to a panel of interviewers, where it was 20 minutes to present and then 10 minutes for Q&A. They gave me guidelines beforehand, which was helpful. It seemed like a lot for someone just out of college, but they really wanted to see how I approach things. I felt a bit blindsided by the extra round, even though they gave me feedback and were nice about it.

Behavioral
The interview process took months, with several phone calls happening over time. It took a while to schedule the onsite interview, which was very long, inefficient, and ineffective. There was a large panel, and some people seemed uninterested during the interview. The company appears to be struggling with making decisions.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was spread over multiple rounds. It started with a virtual interview with the Hiring Manager, followed by a half-day virtual panel interview. Then there was a virtual interview with HR, and finally, a full-day site visit. The entire process spanned over a month. While the people were nice, their responses and the overall pace were slow. They did share feedback once they made their decision.
