Behavioral
A recruiter reached out to me first to screen my qualifications. Then I had a phone interview with the Director of the department. After that, I went in for an in-house interview where I met individually with the 2 Directors and 2 VPs in the department. All of the interviews were behavioral.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was super professional and they communicated really well. I really liked the recruiter I worked with throughout the entire process. There was only one round of interviews, which consisted of two directors and two managers (one of them was the hiring manager). Most of the questions were about fit and getting me to explain my work experience. The recruiter called me back within two hours with an offer, and I accepted.
