Behavioral Technical Presentation Case
The interview process was pretty standard, involving typical questions about the role, my past experience, and my knowledge of the relevant domain. The role had several stages, including a task where I had to answer questions based on a presentation I prepared, followed by some scenario-based questions. They got back to me in a reasonable amount of time.

The process was pretty straightforward. It mainly consisted of basic questions about my motivations and experience. They asked about challenges I faced in prior jobs and how I dealt with them. If you prepare using the STAR method, it's a really smooth experience. The people I met were nice and kept things relaxed.
