I had two interviews, one with senior management and another with a principal. Everyone was very nice and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable. We met in either the large conference room or a smaller lounge area at the office. I presented my portfolio digitally.

Behavioral Presentation

Had a review meeting with a principal and a project manager. They were both nice and looked at about a third of my portfolio. Then, we took a tour of the office. It felt pretty chill. I got the vibe they aren't rushed to fill the spot.
