Behavioral Technical Coding

I applied through my university and the whole thing took about 2 weeks. First, I had a phone interview where they asked about my resume and projects. Then, I got called for an onsite interview in Folsom. They explained the job, and it wasn't technical, mostly about my projects and my knowledge of the company. After that, I had another onsite, also in Folsom, with higher management and executives. The questions were mainly about my skills, why I was a good fit, and my detailed knowledge of the company. Finally, there was a technical interview with three people who asked about basic computer skills, gave me a small coding question, and asked me to figure out what was happening. They also gave me a list of 10 computer tasks to do in 20 minutes, like writing and debugging Python code, bypassing a password, and finding the computer's IP address. This job involves configuring, troubleshooting, and assisting clients with the ignition software over the phone.
