Technical Behavioral
Got to the first interview round for this role. They asked some technical questions and also inquired about my knowledge of current ESA missions. The interviewers seemed pretty chill, but they did mention receiving a lot of applications, so not getting the job was still a possibility. Ultimately, I didn't get hired.
