Behavioral Technical
The interview process was super unorganized and it felt like no one was really keeping track of where I was in it. I was asked to drive to their campus for an onsite interview, but when I got there, they told me they had canceled it without even letting me know beforehand. Then, I did what seemed like the final round like 5 months ago and still haven't heard anything back. The company totally ghosted me and didn't provide any updates, even when I emailed the recruiter.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty standard. They used the STAR method for behavioral and situational questions. The first stage was a phone screening. Then, for the second round, you'd come on-site for a 3-hour interview session. This included meeting with HR first, followed by three other groups. After that, there might be a third round, which would be a virtual interview. The response time from the company was just okay; I had to follow up weekly and never heard back unless I reached out first.
