Technical Coding
Had a 30-min phone interview. They threw three math questions at me and wanted to hear my entire thought process. The questions weren't designed to trick me, but they were complex and required fast thinking. You gotta have a clear head and be adaptable for their interviews. This phone screen wasn't behavioral.

We started with an Excel exercise, and then had a phone interview. The questions they asked were pretty much what they hinted at beforehand, so you knew what to expect. It wasn't my usual style, but they prepared me well.
