It started with a recruiter chat, then I had a bunch of interviews with some SEs, the SE lead, and account managers. There was a tech interview and they had me do a mock discovery call. Then I had to give a demo of Grafana. Everyone was really nice and professional.

Behavioral
I only got to the phone screen stage. The recruiter asked me basic logistical questions and didn't explain anything about the role or the company. The conversation, which was supposed to be 30 minutes, ended up being only ten minutes long. The recruiter didn't seem very engaged. I got a rejection email the next day. I guess she was looking for specific keywords that I couldn't provide in the short time. It wasn't a great interview experience.
