It was a panel interview. I met with three different people from Forbes for 15-20 minutes each. It was both Behavioral and Technical Verbal. Pretty straight forward, asked concepts and about resume.

Technical Behavioral
I had a skills-based assignment where I had to calculate a person's net worth and write short blurbs about billionaires, and then I had a phone interview with each of the two editors in under two weeks. They were slow to respond about whether I got the job, so I had to push them a bit.
