The interview was 2 hours long. The first hour was with a couple of engineers, and the second hour was with two other engineers. They asked the same questions at first, waiting for a response using the STAR method. At the end of each session, there was a technical case where I had to improve a process or fix a problem based on a process flow diagram.

Behavioral Technical
It was 2 interviews, one online and one in person. The online one was chill and we just talked about my background. The in-person interview had both behavioural and technical parts. My tip for the behavioural questions is to use the STAR method and give a really concrete example. Specificity is key. The technical questions weren't as tough as I thought. Feel free to take a moment to think before answering.
