Technical Behavioral
I got a referral from an analyst and then got an interview invitation two weeks later. The technical questions were quite difficult, and I didn't make it past the first round. They only tested technical skills beyond the standard 400 questions. There were no behavioral questions at all, except for 'Tell me about yourself'. They expected in-depth knowledge.
