Behavioral
I was connected with this company by a recruiter and interviewed with a manager from the office I'd be joining and an HR representative. They had my resume and asked about specific bullets and accomplishments I'd listed. If I'd moved forward, I would have been flown to their headquarters for more interviews and a potential offer. The interviewers were friendly and seemed to enjoy their roles and the company. They emphasized compliance as a key part of their culture and that everyone collaborates to add value.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied for a PM position and got a call from a recruiter in two weeks. She went over the role and process, asked about my resume, and I asked her questions. She said I'd hear back in a week, and I did from the hiring manager a couple days later. He asked more technical questions about my background and how I've handled things. Then I got an invite for an onsite interview in Wichita. HR sent an agenda for the trip: 4, 45-minute sessions with different people, they arranged my travel, and I got reimbursed after. While there, the recruiter took me to lunch in the cafeteria, and I interviewed with 4 different folks. After the last interview, I met with the recruiter again to talk about benefits, pay, and any other questions. A week after the interview, the recruiter called and offered me the job.
