Behavioral Technical Other

So I had one interview with two senior engineers. It was about an hour and a half. It was broken down into parts, like some getting-to-know-you stuff, then technical questions, and then they went through the HR and job details with me.

Behavioral Technical Other

We had a personality test that took over an hour, then an English test, followed by a 2-hour interview with HR. Finally, there was a technical interview with the team. A key thing to remember is to align with the company's values: agree with everything they say during the interview. When discussing past negative experiences, use vague language.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you describe times when you faced difficult situations?
