Behavioral Technical
So, after they review your application, if you make the cut, they might call you in for an interview. It could be in person, on the phone, or over video. They'll want to see if you've got the right stuff, like your skills and experience, and if you'd be a good fit. If you pass that, there might be some extra tests or tasks related to the job. Then they'll really look at everything, and if you're the one they want, you'll get a job offer and start the onboarding.

Behavioral Technical
Recruiter was nice and kept me updated on the process and when things would happen. Each person I talked to was ready for our meeting and asked good questions that felt like a chat rather than an interview. They let me ask my own questions and were open about what the job is like and how I could grow. A good tip for others is to prepare for behavioral questions and have stories ready about how you handled things before. I felt good about the interviewers afterwards; it's rare to feel like this after an interview, but this one was great.
