Behavioral Technical

The interview process didn't really involve technical questions, unless it was about understanding the role itself or the team I'd be joining. Mostly, I had to answer a lot of behavioral questions about myself. The team was super nice, and I actually got the job and worked with them for the summer!

I had an interview with the contracting recruiter and then a panel interview with the Contracts Manager, Manager of Project Managers, and a peer Project Manager. Both interviews were an hour long. I didn't hear back for 4 weeks, but then I got an offer. They gave me a pay range and negotiating was easy.
