Behavioral Technical

First, there was a recruiter screening where they asked standard questions about my skills and experience. Then, I had a call with the Hiring Manager. They asked in-depth questions about a project I worked on at work, and asked follow-up questions based on my story. Unfortunately, the role was cancelled, so I didn't get any further. Overall, it was a positive process.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process involved three rounds. The first two interviewers were knowledgeable and respectful. However, the third interviewer was very rude and disrespectful, starting the interview with no introduction and bombarding me with questions he was clearly googling. He interrupted me frequently and seemed to have no real knowledge of the questions he was asking, likely just looking for keywords. He rushed through the interview, finishing in about 15 minutes. It felt like a waste of time, and I would advise against interviewing with this company as they tend to ghost candidates and are frustrating to deal with.
