Behavioral Technical
The interview process felt really welcoming and chill, which helped me relax. It wasn't rushed or scary, but set up so I could take my time and explain things well. I had to record answers to some questions, which was cool 'cause I could really think about what I wanted to say and show off my skills in a relaxed way. It felt more personal, less stressful, and let me show both my tech knowledge and how I communicate.

So the first step was this online video assessment. It's like a 3-question thing where they use your webcam and/or mic. You get 12 minutes total to finish it. They give you a system tour and a practice run beforehand, and tell you how much time you have for each question. You can take breaks between questions, and it saves your spot. You'll get to do a full practice run before starting the real assessment.
