Behavioral Technical
The interview itself was normal. I was asked typical interview questions and was then given a tour around the facility. However, afterwards I was basically ghosted. I emailed the person who interviewed me and never heard back. They are very unprofessional. Even when emailed various times, they did not care to even let me know I did not receive the role.

I applied on the Inova website and a recruiter called me to set up the interview. Then, I met with the manager and another staff member for the interview. The manager asked me some questions looking for specific examples. After the interview, the manager said they'd let me know by the end of the week, but the recruiter called me the same day with an offer.
