Technical Behavioral

I interviewed with two engineers who asked scenario-based questions about cloud, security, and patching. They were smart and friendly, which made me feel comfortable. They asked a few follow-up questions. The questions were surface-level and broad, designed to gauge my technical knowledge and thought process.

Behavioral Technical

The initial screening call was friendly and pleasant. It's a bit confusing though because the job was advertised as fully remote, but they asked upfront if I could commit to working in the office three days a week, which sounds more like a hybrid setup.
