Behavioral Technical Presentation

I talked to some people at a college career fair and got an invite for a first interview. It was a 30-minute video call, mostly behavioral questions. About a week later, I was invited to the final round. This took two days. The first day had info sessions about the company, the team, and the culture. The second day had two 30-minute interviews. The first one had general questions and then I was shown a tool's cross-section and asked to think about how it works. The second one was more about my background and teamwork. They noted if you mentioned interest in a specific area. I got the offer by phone the next week.

Behavioral Technical

Got contacted 13 days after applying to set up a virtual interview with a hiring manager. Two days later, I got invited to a final interview event. That event had different panels covering company parts and expectations. The next day, I had 3 back-to-back virtual interviews with different managers. Six days after the final interview event, I got a text from the hiring manager of the group that wanted to hire me. They wanted to set up another interview, which I scheduled for the next day (phone interview). The day after that, I got a verbal offer.

Behavioral Technical

It was a pretty standard interview process. They asked some behavioral questions and then some technical ones. I feel like I could have done better articulating my thoughts because I didn't prepare as much as I should have. Definitely make sure you have your main points down.

  • Can you share an example of how you've used CAD software in a project?
