Behavioral Technical
I applied for a senior role and shared my expected salary with several Lenovo recruiters, but then everything went silent. Suddenly, a Lenovo recruiter reached out about a potential opportunity to upgrade my application to principal. The interviewers were not friendly and seemed uninterested in listening to me.

Behavioral Technical Coding
So there were three rounds in total. The first one was just an intro where they asked me about my resume stuff and how I could help them out. Then the second round was a technical coding one. They hit me with a couple of questions about things like binary search, strings, and dynamic memory allocation. The last round was more behavioral, asking about how I'd handle different work situations and stuff like my strengths and weaknesses.

There were 4 rounds in the interview process. The first was a technical screening where they asked basic questions about the programming language specified in the job description. Next, there was an HR interview to go over my resume and achievements, and to get a feel for my personality. Then, there were two more technical interviews with the team. The first technical interview was to assess my knowledge and identify areas where I could improve. The second technical interview with the team was more about getting to know the rest of the team members, I think to see if I would be a good fit culture-wise.
