Behavioral Technical
It was a two-stage interview process, with both the HR and technical interviews taking place in person. The HR interview covered typical questions about teamwork, travel willingness, and salary expectations. The technical interview involved a discussion about my past projects and coursework.

Behavioral
After connecting with recruiters at a university career fair, I had an over-the-phone interview. This call was mainly behavioral questions, like how you handle teamwork and problem-solving. It was pretty chill, since they're looking to give younger engineers a chance to gain experience, so it wasn't super intense. Just prepare like you would for any phone interview.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
The interview process felt pretty standard for a multinational company. It started with a 30-minute phone call with HR, followed by a 1-hour HR interview and then a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager. The HR interviews were mostly about behavioral questions and my past experiences, focusing on my resume details about projects, teamwork, and problem-solving. The manager's interview was more technical, discussing my previous projects, assessing my language skills, and understanding my motivation and suitability for the role. There were two more interviews: one with a future coworker, which might have been better placed during the manager's interview, and a final 30-minute chat with a business leader that seemed a bit redundant, mostly for their reassurance about hiring the right person.
