Behavioral Technical

Applied through LinkedIn and the process was super quick. Got a call from HR within 15 minutes for a recorded call where they asked about my package, preferred location, current profile, and why I'm a good fit. If selected, HR called again to confirm and mentioned the technical team would reach out in about 2 weeks. I got a call from the technical interviewer within those 2 weeks to confirm the date and time for the technical round, which was scheduled for 3 days later. They said I'd be informed of the outcome after that.
