Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
So the interview experience for this role started with a recruiter call where they laid out salary expectations and talked about the job. After that, I had to do a technical assessment. Then came four interviews: one with my direct manager and a senior colleague, two interviews with managers from different departments, and the final interview was with the director. All interviews were about an hour long and very interactive. It felt pretty chill, and they seemed to appreciate honesty. The recruiter was also super communicative after each interview, giving and getting feedback, which was cool. My main tip is to be real about your skills; they can spot fakes easily.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The recruiter initiated contact with screening questions. Following that, a phone interview was conducted with the hiring manager. The subsequent stage was an on-site meeting, which involved sequential one-on-one interviews with three individuals in person and three individuals over the phone. The interviews included general questions and a review of my resume. I supported my experience with concrete examples from previous projects and their results, presented in print and email formats, which I believe was instrumental in the positive outcome. No job offer was extended during the interview process.
