In the third interview, you walk them through your code, and they might ask you a few questions about it. Each interview lasted about 15 minutes, and everyone was extremely nice.

Behavioral Technical

It was engaging, and I enjoyed the entire process. The interview had two phases, the behavioral interview and technical interview, each of them taking 15 minutes. The technical interview proceeded with a series of questions related to the applicant's niche, and the behavioral interview proceeded with questions about the individual in general.
