Behavioral Technical
I went through 2 interviews. First, I chatted with the hiring manager, which was pretty chill. Then, I had a longer session with two leads from different teams in the department. This second interview was split into two parts: first, a behavioral chat, and then a technical part where they checked my knowledge of the tools for the role. The whole experience was great, everyone was super down to earth.

Behavioral Case
Had two interviews back to back. First was a behavioral interview, which was pretty straightforward with standard STAR questions. Then there was a case interview. It seemed manageable at first, but thinking on my feet was tougher than expected because the questions were a little unusual. Overall, it was an okay experience.
