Behavioral Technical Presentation

I had one interview where they asked all the screening questions and work-related questions. They asked me to share my experience with an online shopping website and present my favorite e-commerce website, sharing my screen to explain what I like about it.

Behavioral Technical

We had a 20-minute casual call with HR, then a 1.5-hour in-person interview with the hiring manager and HR for a general introduction and interview chat. Following that, another 1.5-hour in-person interview with the hiring manager and HR for a more in-depth discussion about tasks and motivation. The salary topic was brought up for the first time during this meeting. There were no extensive behavioral questions from HR, and no tests or exercises to solve. Everything was quite casual and friendly, leading to an offer.

Behavioral Technical

My interview process for the IT Consultant role was a bit drawn out. After an initial positive recruiter call, I was told I'd get an invitation for a second interview, which took about three weeks to arrive after I followed up. The second interview went well, and they indicated a third interview would be the final step. However, after several more weeks of waiting, they suddenly called to let me know they had hired someone else, which felt like a waste of my time.

Behavioral Other

The interview process was very cordial, however, it took an unsavory turn at the end, and I was essentially ghosted. It consisted of one phone interview and two in-person interviews with each of the staff on the team, as well as one HR staff member. I felt the questions were topical and most everyone seemed pleasant and engaged. I'd even received some nice follow up from my thank you notes. Despite all of this, and going back and forth with the HR contact approximately 3-4x to discuss hiring status, I was left completely in the dark and never heard from them again after about the fourth week post-interview.
