This was a 1 hour technical interview. We talked about a recent project I worked on. I had to explain my design choices, how I implemented things, what challenges I ran into, and how I went about solving problems and optimizing things during the project.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process is pretty standard. First, you'll have a phone interview with the hiring manager. After that, you'll meet with a group of people who are internal customers, have lunch, and then do 1-on-1s for about 30-45 minutes. We discussed the role, what's expected, and my past experiences, background, and projects.

Behavioral Technical Other
The whole thing has taken a couple of months. It started with a casual phone screen, then a more official phone interview. After that, I had a full day of in-person interviews with the team. There was also a follow-up interview with the hiring manager. It looks like there might be even more phone interviews with HR and a few other department managers who won't be directly working with me on this role.
