Behavioral

The interview was mostly situational and behavioral questions. It was conversational rather than technical, and took place in a calm setting. The interview began with standard questions and concluded with time for me to ask about the company.

Behavioral Technical

It was a pretty straightforward process. First, HR screening, then they set up a Teams interview with 2-3 people from the company. They asked technical and personality questions to see how you'd fit into a team.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I went through three panel interviews for the Environmental Scientist role, and they got more technical with each round. The first one was mostly to see if I was still interested. The second one dove into the specific roles and responsibilities of the job. The last one covered things like salary, my availability, and what I expected from the position. It was a really professional and positive experience overall.
