Behavioral Technical
I spoke with 4 people in total. First, there was a 50-minute phone call where we went over my resume, experience, projects, and education. It was a pretty standard interview with no super tough or surprising questions, and the interviewer was really clear and easy to understand. I actually enjoyed chatting with him and he got back to me pretty fast, within 2 days, to set up the next interview. That was a 3-hour face-to-face meeting with some senior engineers and the manager. They really dug into my work and stuff. It was also pretty standard and the interviewers were very polite. It was a comfortable experience all around. If you know your stuff and aren't scared to explain your work in detail, it's a great experience.
