Behavioral Group
I applied online, and then a recruiter got in touch for a phone call. After that, I had a panel interview with three associates. It was the final round, but I didn't get an offer. The interviewers were very nice and asked a lot of STAR questions. Each panel interview was about 30 minutes, making the total time around 1.5 hours.

Behavioral Technical
It was a three-part interview process. I spoke with the hiring manager, the Finance Director, and one of the main business partners. They mentioned that I connected well with everyone, but the decision came down to work experience and needing specific certifications for this role. The hiring manager did give me some constructive feedback, which I appreciated. However, I think candidates should have been told upfront that certain certifications and specific work experience were requirements for this particular opening.

Behavioral
I applied on LinkedIn and the hiring consultant reached out the following week to set up the first interview. It was mostly behavioral questions, and she really focused on the upcoming group projects. She then set up an onsite interview for two weeks later where I met with two managers. The interviews felt more like a conversation than a typical Q&A. They seemed really interested in my problem-solving skills, specifically how fast I can get up to speed on new projects. I think they liked the ideas I shared, and it seemed to go well.
