Behavioral Technical
This was a pretty easy interview process because they're looking to hire more people and are relaxing their requirements. They might even offer a higher position to draw in external candidates. Make sure to negotiate well before accepting the offer, as internal opportunities are scarce after you join.

The interview process began with a couple of phone interviews, first with the Hiring Manager, then a technical interview. After that, I was invited to their Malta Office for a 6-hour interview process. It was structured into several rounds: Round 1 was a basic Java interview, seemingly for fresh graduates, not focusing on new tech. Round 2 was a general technical interview, quite open-ended. Round 3 was a Manager interview focusing on background and scenarios. Round 4 was a high-level interview where they discussed current issues they're facing. Round 5 was with a Senior Manager. Finally, Round 6 was an HR interview, which felt like they were assessing long-term commitment.
