Behavioral

I applied online and my resume was selected. About 10 days after applying, I got an email asking about my availability for an interview with the hiring manager. There was only one interview, which was the final one. Exactly one week after the interview, I got an email for references. After the reference check, which took another week, I got an offer letter. The joining date was set for two weeks after I received the offer. So, from applying online to getting the offer took about 4 weeks. They only asked behavioral questions, no technical ones.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was pretty good and moved along quickly. They didn't go super deep on technical stuff, which was nice. Overall, it was a positive vibe. Just make sure you're ready to talk about handling incident investigations because that's a big thing for them. Being able to show how you solve problems and fix things will be really important.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Could you explain the process for conducting an incident investigation?
