Behavioral

I had a phone screen to chat about the company and job specifics. The next day, I had a video interview with two people. They asked behavioral questions and then let me ask questions about the job. I was told they would let me know about next steps quickly, but I never heard back and couldn't reach anyone. I was really into this job and thought it went well, but beware, they might ghost you.

It was 3 rounds of interviews: a general HR interview, then a technical interview with the team I might join, and finally a chat with some higher-ups. The people were nice and the time was used well. Since it was during the pandemic, everything was done online.

The hiring process was a bit slow, taking a couple of months before I got rejected. However, the interviewers were nice and didn't ask anything too challenging. I'd be happy to work there based on my interactions and would definitely apply again.
