Behavioral Other
It was a long interview process with 5 in-person rounds, each taking several hours. They wanted me to meet people from all levels and different departments. The questions were pretty similar and focused on getting to know me, understanding my motivation for the role, and assessing my company knowledge. Definitely research the company's history beforehand as it's a common discussion point.
