Behavioral Technical Coding Case Presentation
it starts with a short intro to get to know each other and check if the basics fit – like experience, motivation, and expectations. Then comes the technical part – depending on the role, that could be a coding task, a data case, or discussing previous projects. In the final round, it's more about how well you fit into the team and how you work with others. Communication and feedback during the process are really important to make it a good experience for both sides.
