Behavioral Technical
The HR phase was quick and efficient. I didn't do as well as I hoped in the panel interview, but I felt good about my knowledge of the models discussed, even though I could have improved in some areas. The main interviewer was great, professional, and kept things moving. But, one senior manager was a letdown, showing up late and leaving early, clearly frustrated when my answers weren't what he expected. It made things awkward and felt like my time wasn't valued.

Technical Behavioral
It started with a questionnaire about programming languages and college stuff. A few weeks later, a recruiter reached out to schedule two Skype interviews, one for technical stuff and one for behavioral. They were pretty short, around 30 minutes each. The technical interview wasn't super technical, mostly asking about my experience with data and college work. The behavioral interview focused on personality and if I'd be a good fit with the team. Both interviewers were really nice and made it sound like a great place for analysts.
