Behavioral Technical
The recruiter emailed me last minute for an overnight scheduling, even though I applied over 2 months ago for the role. Round 1 had behavioral/technical questions, which were pretty straightforward. The interviewer seemed more interested in talking about themselves than asking questions to gauge my knowledge/competencies.
