Behavioral Technical

The interview had two parts: behavioral and technical. For the behavioral part, we talked about my work history, future career goals, why I want to work at GDLS, and what I consider my biggest accomplishment. Then, in the technical part, I had to talk about my past experiences again, explain what version control is, describe how I'd deal with a merge conflict, look at a power control module I hadn't seen before and figure out how to install it, and draw a flowchart showing how a phone call works.

Coding Behavioral

There were 2 rounds of interviews. I had to do a coding assignment, but the setup was really weird and used outdated technology. It felt like they weren't using current tech.
