Technical Behavioral
We started with a technical interview that was about an hour long, with the leads and managers from the team. They asked about my previous experience and technical questions, and also explained the company, role, and responsibilities. Then there were some HR and personality questions. As usual with most companies, there was a drug screening, fingerprints, and background check.

Behavioral Technical Coding
It started with a phone call from an external company to quickly check your resume and your reasons for applying to Highmark. This part was not technical at all, just a discussion about your background. The final stage was an in-person interview at the company's offices. For an associate role, the interview wasn't overly difficult; basic Java and OOP knowledge is required. There are many online resources for common questions, so studying those will help significantly. A behavioral aspect is also included, so be ready to address some unusual hypothetical scenarios you might not have experienced yet.
