Behavioral Technical

I applied online and got contacted the next day by a recruiter. It seemed like things were going well, and they said I'd be set up for an interview with the project lead. I waited a week and then followed up with the recruiter, who claimed she was waiting on interview times to schedule me. Turns out she wasn't being truthful, and I never heard back. It felt really disrespectful that they weren't upfront about it.

Behavioral Technical Coding

The interview process has 3 steps. The first interview is face-to-face with a recruiter. It's a pretty standard interview, focusing more on personality and communication skills than technical ones. The second interview is over the phone with a Manager. It's similar to the first, but they'll ask some technical questions about queries and your confidence in coding. The third interview is in person with a Senior Specialist. This one is mostly about your technical experience and skills. They won't ask too many technical questions, but SQL and HTML basics are important. If you've got the fundamentals down, you should be fine. Most of this interview is about your technical background and how well you can talk about your experiences, connecting them to the job and the company. Again, it's not overly difficult, just be ready for SQL and HTML.
