It was a pretty straightforward interview, mostly basic questions and some Linux command stuff like ps, sudo, chmod, and kill. The whole thing took about 2 hours, which felt reasonable given the $20/hour pay.

Behavioral Group
It was a really long panel interview. I felt like I was just sitting there for hours talking to the same group of people about the same stuff one after another. It would have made more sense to just meet with the whole team together.
