Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process typically involves a panel with at least one Sr. Specialist subject-matter expert and two other employees from the unit or sector you're applying to. It can be a bit disorganized for Consultants, but for staff, it's highly organized. It starts with an in-depth HR phone call. They will ask general questions about your past experiences, your knowledge of the industry, your working culture (teamwork, style, etc.), and specific skills needed for the job.

It was a panel interview with 3-5 staff members. Since it was an internal position, the process might differ for external candidates. Preparation should be based on your resume. The panel had representatives from various departments, so make sure you understand the entire organization, not just the department you're applying to.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online and about two weeks later got an invite to interview. It was a panel interview over zoom with my potential supervisor and two other specialists. I felt like they weren't really paying attention though, like they were preoccupied. I've heard they often have someone in mind already and just interview others as a formality. They need to interview at least three people for a full-time consultant role.
