Behavioral Group Presentation
It was a great interview, the team seemed really friendly. I spoke with them before my hiring last year about my interests and if I'd be a good fit for the team. They were super engaged the whole time, and it seems like a really supportive place to work with everyone ready to help out.

We had a video interview with some prep time. There were 3 questions and no re-recordings were allowed. The questions were tough and felt like they expected a lot of prior experience, so it was a good fit if you had a lot to talk about.
