Behavioral Technical
So I had this initial phone screen with HR, and they just wanted to confirm my experience and tell me about the job. After that, I got scheduled for a phone interview with the Hiring Manager and two other managers from the team. The questions were all about the qualifications and experience from the job listing, which was nice because I could prep. Then, I had a full-day interview on-site where I met with a bunch of managers and engineers. All the questions were about how I'd use my experience with Johnson & Johnson's core values. They covered my hotel and reimbursed my gas. I got an offer about 3 weeks later.

I was working as a contractor through an agency, and this agency pretty much staffs all the contractors at Ethicon. I applied through a friend and then got a call from HR for some general questions. After the HR round, I was told to send my documents to the contracting company. Then I got a call to speak with the program manager, who was located somewhere else. After that, there was a technical interview. Finally, I had a conversation with the Ethicon manager about the job.
