Technical Behavioral

I first had an interview with the HR rep, then a technical video call interview. The interviewers were not friendly. Instead of getting to know your skills and knowledge, they mostly ask tricky questions trying to catch you in every corner. It was the worst experience I ever had in an interview. Since I did well in most interviews I had with other companies around the same time and got a few job offers, it's safe to say the problem was with this company and their interviewers, not me.

Behavioral Technical

The interview had 3 rounds total. The first 2 were virtual and the last one was on-site. I spoke with the hiring manager in the first round. Then, in the second round, I met with both the hiring manager and the technical lead. The final round was the on-site interview. The whole thing dragged on for over 2 months, and it took them more than a month to get back to me after the final round. Overall, it was a bad experience and a waste of my time.

Coding Presentation

First, there was a phone interview. Then, the actual exercise of development/configuration. After I developed it, I walked through most of it, and the interviewer went through all of it in advance. It was relatively easy to explain.
