Behavioral Technical
HR reached out for an initial screening, and then after 3 months, I was contacted again for an onsite interview. When I arrived, the actual interviewer wouldn't be there. There were two 1-hour interviews, plus an hour-long tour. They asked me about my past experiences and gave some feedback on topics an intern wouldn't typically face. It was radio silence for about 2 months post-interview, then HR contacted me about what seemed like another interview, but I was ultimately denied. This place really doesn't respect your time and can't even be bothered to respond after a 3-day trip for an interview. The whole thing was a mess and totally unprofessional.

Behavioral
The process was straightforward. Since I applied as an intern and my resume was selected early, I bypassed the initial phone interview and went straight to the one-on-one interviews. There were three one-on-one interviews, and meals (breakfast and lunch) were provided at the hotel. They asked standard behavioral questions.

applied online and got a call about 4 days after, then was invited for an onsite interview about 3 weeks later. The onsite had 3 interviews with 3 different managers, with lunch happening between the 2nd and 3rd interviews. Lots of questions about diversity and leadership, and also about job experience. Three other candidates were interviewing that day. Very relaxed and polished process overall.

- Tell me about a time you experienced a workplace conflict due to diversity and how you resolved it.
