Behavioral
It was a phone screening that went straight into behavioral questions without any warning. The interviewer seemed really disengaged and was pretty harsh. I got the impression there wouldn't be any follow-up because of how aggressive she was and her lack of interest.

Behavioral
It was an in-person interview on campus, which was nice considering how many virtual meetings there are these days. It felt like a chat, and they really want to get to know you. But, to get an offer, your answers need to be well-thought-out and really show off your strengths, which is true for any interview.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Tell me about a situation where you dealt with a team conflict.
