Behavioral Case
I went through 3 rounds of interviews, and I think there are 4 in total. The first was a quick chat with HR about my understanding of the role and job description. Then, a virtual call with someone from the team where I answered competency-based questions like 'describe a time when have you had a disagreement with a colleague and have had to compromise' and 'tell me about a time you have had to champion something that others might not have agreed with'. The third round involved a case study, giving me a task typical for the role. The team and HR were great, accommodating my schedule and communicating well. I even got feedback, making it a positive experience.

Behavioral Technical
It was a smooth and quick process. Started with an application, then a call with HR, followed by two more interviews with team members. The conversations were informative and friendly, but I realized the role wasn't for me after learning more. It wasn't overly challenging, but you should know what the company does and what the job involves. Be prepared for questions about your role and tasks during the interviews!

The process is pretty straightforward with 3 rounds after the initial HR call. The first round is a Manager Evaluation where you'll present a Powerpoint Case Study. If that goes well, you move to the 2nd round with a VP, and then the 3rd round is with a stakeholder.
