Behavioral Technical

I set up the interview over email. Two engineers, one newer and one experienced, interviewed me. They asked about my past internships and projects. I think I might have also briefly talked about my skills. I had time for questions at the end, and they both answered them. About 1-2 weeks later, I received an offer.

Technical Behavioral

I had phone interviews, one with the manager and one with HR. I wasn't called back for an in-person interview. The manager interview was great. However, I really didn't like the HR person's attitude. She spent an hour asking questions solely to find reasons to disqualify me. It felt like an interrogation. I learned NOTHING from HR about the role and company. Out of all my interviews, this was the only one that made me feel bad afterward.
