Behavioral Technical
I had a chat with two senior members of the team, it was pretty relaxed and conversational. Mostly, they asked me competency-based questions. I also had a short written task to do, which involved some basic math. Then, I met with a bunch of other team members for introductions and to ask any questions I had.
