Technical Behavioral
It was a pretty chill interview. We started with a 30 minute phone call, then a 2 hour in person on site interview before they made the final offer. They asked some technical questions and more behavioral questions. I waited about 5 days after the second round to get the offer.

I applied for a temporary position and was contacted by Randstad. My interview process started with a recruiter phone screen, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager. The final stage was an in-person interview lasting about two hours, where I met with four team members. I received a follow-up call within a day.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved an HR phone screen, a subsequent phone interview with the hiring manager, and then a full-day on-site interview. I ended up withdrawing my application before the on-site portion. The HR representative was quite rude during the initial stages, though the hiring manager seemed pleasant.
