They use a recruiting agency and communication was a bit messy but friendly. The in-person interviews were long, but the team was great. There were multiple people and one-on-one interviews. They didn't focus much on my knowledge base, but instead talked a lot about the day-to-day work and what it's like to work at the company.

Technical Behavioral

I had a recruiter screen, then a GreenLight rep screen, then I spoke with the hiring manager. They then scheduled an onsite interview, but it got delayed twice. After that, I was ghosted and received no response.

Behavioral Presentation

Started with two calls, one with HR and another with the hiring manager. Then, I had a virtual seminar lasting about 30 minutes. Following that, there were six separate 30-minute interviews. The questions in these one-on-one interviews mostly related to the seminar content and my approach to work.
