Behavioral Technical
It started with a phone call where they asked me some basic questions about my work history and my technical knowledge about systems, Linux, and Windows. Then I had an in-person interview that was more focused on my technical skills with the Linux command line, compiling software, and troubleshooting approaches. I also got to ask a lot of questions during this part.

Technical
The interview was very technical and challenging. The interviewer wanted to make sure I was the right candidate for the job, which is why the interview was on the technical side rather than the STAR interview.

Behavioral
About 3 weeks after applying online, I got a call to come in for an interview since I'm from PA. The interview was a one-on-one, and it was pretty straightforward. The manager was really friendly and primarily asked behavioral questions. These mostly focused on how I've handled situations in the past, like my role in previous group projects and how I dealt with difficult scenarios. It felt very casual, like we were just chatting rather than having a formal interview. I received an offer a week later.
