Group Technical Behavioral

There were a bunch of interviews, first with panels where everyone in the group would ask questions and take turns talking. Then a score ranking that led to a specific interview for an individual role, which popped up when they had availability. It was a long process, kind of like an RFQ before getting to the actual job interview.

Behavioral Technical

It was an on-campus interview where I met with two people representing the company or department. We were in a small room for a fairly easy interview, and they were very outgoing. The whole process was short and sweet, taking about 30 minutes. They asked some general and technical questions.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • How would you deal with conflict with a coworker?
