Behavioral Case Technical
It was a 3 round interview process. First, I talked to the HR manager about my background and the job details. Then, I was given a case study where I had to create a research proposal for a real client. The last interview was with the Director and my potential manager to talk more about the position.

Behavioral Technical
It started with a quick chat with HR. Then, I had two separate chats with team folks, followed by a meeting with my potential manager and then one with the head of the whole unit. The whole thing felt pretty chill and nice; I genuinely enjoyed talking to everyone. Things went sideways though when they mentioned they were readying an offer, but the salary was actually less than what I said I needed in that first HR chat. I couldn't move forward with that, so I said thanks for their time and bowed out. I'm still kinda surprised I never heard back. It also stung a bit to go through all those interviews, hours of my time, when they knew they couldn't meet my salary needs. If HR is reading this, please show more respect for us candidates and our time. We have busy lives too.
