Behavioral Technical Presentation
It started with a recruiter screen, which was great because they were really helpful. Then I had two panel interviews; the second one was more tech-focused. The final round was with an executive. Everyone made the experience positive and informative. The hiring manager really made an effort to make sure we were on the same page about expectations and the role.

Technical Group Behavioral
The first part of the interview was a technical assessment where I was given a hypothetical problem from the current product and asked how I would assign a team to resolve it. It seemed they wanted to gauge my problem-solving and team-assignment skills based on individual strengths. This was followed by a group interview focusing on project management and delegation. The group interview was quite tough because the team members were confrontational and emphasized that the job required more than 40 hours per week, closer to 50. Overall, the process was acceptable, but the significant emphasis on overtime was a bit much. I understand it's a high-pressure role, but the interview environment made it difficult to inquire about work-life balance.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Got a human review of my resume, which was cool. Started with a 15-min chat with the recruiter. Then, a call with the hiring manager. After that, panel interviews over 2 days. Heard back from the recruiter the day after the last interview. Overall, the hiring process was pretty straightforward. Lots of interviews and questions, but they kept me updated.
