Behavioral Technical

The interview process felt really organized and professional. Mostly, they asked me behavioral questions to get a sense of my past experiences, how I approach problems, and if I fit with SampoSa's values. The interviewer was nice and made it feel comfortable. We also talked about leadership and teamwork scenarios. It was a good, engaging chat overall.

Behavioral Technical

The interview started with a self-interview instead of a face-to-face with their HR. The questions didn't really dig into my past experiences' skills. I wasn't used to those kinds of questions, so I messed up all my answers.
