Behavioral Presentation
This was for the HKS office in Atlanta, GA. The interview process was pretty smooth, even though I didn't end up getting the job because our schedules didn't line up. They were really friendly and seemed more interested in getting to know me as a person, not just what software I knew. The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes, and they genuinely listened to my questions about what the job would be like. To wrap things up, they gave me a tour of the office, which was a nice touch.

Behavioral
I had a virtual interview over zoom with two recruiters who are also architects. The conversation was good and they seemed interested. But the interview had a time limit and they had to go to the next interview. I still had questions for them so I emailed them. It took two weeks for a response, so I emailed again and still nothing. I feel it's disrespectful and disappointing to interview someone and then ghost them.
