Behavioral Technical
I talked to a recruiter on the phone first. Then I had a phone interview with the hiring manager to get an intro to the company and learn more about the role. After that, I had an in-person interview with the manager for about 45 minutes. Then I met one-on-one with a few people who would report to me. It was a really good way to get to know the team.
