This was a really tedious process for a company that, in the end, won't pay a decent senior engineer salary. It was long and I didn't get much clarity on what the actual work would involve. Felt like they were just trying to get information out of me.

Behavioral Technical
A recruiter reached out about the position and set up a call. We chatted for about 30 minutes about the role and company, then they asked about my resume and experience, and I got to ask some questions. After that, I was asked to interview with the manager and some colleagues. This was a 1-hour technical interview where we discussed my resume and then they asked open-ended questions about how I'd tackle problems and my experience with specific systems and technologies.

Behavioral
The interview process was very simple. It consisted of just two interviews: one with HR and another with the hiring manager. They were mostly interested in my past work experience, my career goals, and how this specific job could help me achieve them.

Behavioral Technical
First was a HR session, just a brief intro about myself and getting general info on what they expected for the role from the recruiter person. Second was a Technical interview with the hiring manager, quick intros from both of us, then a series of technical questions which was like a verbal exam by the HR manager. Third, it was either Offer/Reject or an Interview with Upper Level Management, and I got a rejection with a reason that was not realistic.
