Behavioral Technical
I got contacted by a recruiter about a QA role. After that, I went through two phone screens where I was asked the same questions twice. They also made fun of me because my resume was longer than one page. The onsite interview involved a QA lead who would interrupt me constantly while asking questions. They seemed to be trying to get me to say negative things about my past jobs, and when I avoided answering those questions, they made snide remarks. Some of their engineers had poor English skills and lacked networking knowledge. One engineer specifically insisted that I should configure a gateway for a DHCP client.

Technical Coding Behavioral
Got a call from HR to set up the interview. Then there were two rounds. The first was with a senior QA engineer, and the second with a principal engineer and the hiring manager. The whole thing was pretty straightforward and moved fast. Just a heads-up, one person in the second round wasn't the nicest.
