Behavioral Presentation
The interview was pretty straightforward and not too long, with easy questions. The people interviewing me were professional, but I didn't feel they were directly related to the job itself, which was a bit of a letdown. The worst part was that they promised to give feedback, but after I followed up, I never heard back. I really think it's important to let candidates know where they stand with feedback to ease their worries.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was pretty standard: first, there was a 30-minute HR chat, which was in both Spanish and English. Then, I had a 45-minute meeting with two directors, conducted in English. After that, I had another 30-minute meeting with two more directors, one of whom would be my direct supervisor, and this was in Spanish. Lastly, there was a 1.5-hour writing assessment. It was a good experience overall; everyone was really nice, communicated well, and genuinely seemed invested in the project, the candidate, and the company's mission.
