Behavioral Technical Coding
Had an introductory call with the recruiter to go over my background and set up the next steps. Then, a 30-minute first round with the hiring manager to talk about my skills and some behavioral stuff. After that, a panel interview with the hiring manager and some senior engineers. This was a more in-depth technical discussion about the job description skills, focusing on my knowledge and thought process. There was also a coding challenge where I had to find a bug. The final round was an onsite with the hiring manager, mostly behavioral, and a chance to see the office.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
So I interviewed for a Software Engineer job at EWS and it was super technical. Lots of questions about software architecture, especially Spring Boot. The coding was like Leetcode easy-medium, but they really cared more about how much you knew theoretically about Spring Boot and all that stuff than just coding. It felt like they wanted someone with deep 'book smarts' over practical problem-solving skills. I also tried asking them about their work there, like what they liked and what tough problems they're tackling. They were pretty vague though, just saying they're building a product from scratch. Seemed like they preferred book knowledge over hands-on logical thinking.
