Behavioral

It was a pretty straightforward interview. I met with a panel of three people who focused on asking behavioral questions. They seemed like a really nice team. The interview took about 45 minutes. They also wanted to learn about my background to see how I'd fit the role.

I was contacted by phone to confirm my availability for an online interview session. The interview was conducted entirely in English via Google Meet with a senior person from the department. It was an enjoyable and casual experience, though I made sure to be presentable. I was asked to walk through my resume and then show relevant projects I had completed during university.

The interview process was a bit chaotic. They initially missed the interview slot, and after I called, they rescheduled. During the competency interview, which was pleasant, they unexpectedly requested the technical presentation, despite the initial email stating it would be part of the technical interview. They apologized for the miscommunication, but it felt quite unprofessional.
