Behavioral Technical Coding
Had a two-on-one video call interview. It was back-to-back 1-hour sessions. The first hour was for competency questions, and the second hour was for technical questions, focusing on analytical thinking and SQL. For the competency part, they asked standard questions like 'tell me about a difficult situation' or 'why this job', where using the STAR method is best. The tech questions involved looking at scenarios and discussing how I'd handle them, plus some SQL coding.

I saw the opening on Glassdoor and applied. About two weeks later, a recruiter reached out and scheduled an initial phone chat. Following that, I had a Teams interview with the hiring manager, which went well. Then, I was asked to complete a skills assessment that took about two to three hours and was relevant to the job. After passing the assessment, I interviewed with two of my potential coworkers, an E-Commerce Manager, and finally, a Director. So, six people interviewed me in total, plus the skills assessment. They communicated well throughout the whole process, and all interviews felt good. I accepted the offer and am really looking forward to it!

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty standard, asking about my background and interest in the position. During the discussion about further interview stages, the interviewer seemed quite bothered that I don't have a laptop capable of running demanding programs like SAS and R, which I found a bit unreasonable. In the 'personalized' rejection call, the company stated my lack of a Master's degree as the reason for not proceeding, despite other candidates having one. However, I do possess a Master's degree, which is clearly on my CV and was a topic during the interview.
