Behavioral
I had two interviews. The first was with the people and culture manager and it was good, a normal career-type interview. The second one was with a people and culture associate and it was more personal, which I wasn't expecting and I didn't handle it well.

We had a few video calls initially, then a final in-person meeting at the studio. There were pretty long breaks between each stage. They didn't really make it clear how many hours we'd be expected to work.

Behavioral Technical
This was a phone interview with the studio president. It was pretty straightforward, not an interrogation, especially since I was already a known quantity. It seemed like they were trying to see if I'd accept low pay and limited growth opportunities, which felt like a setup to sabotage my career. I actually bypassed the initial interview because I was a referral, and this call was mainly to check my fit and if I was willing to work for cheap.

I applied online after seeing an ad. The VFX Sup contacted me and we had a phone call where we discussed some technical details. Then I spoke with the CEO who asked about my salary expectations. Finally, HR sent an offer via email.
