So after I applied, I got an email to set up an interview. It was a Zoom call, about 30 minutes long. They wanted me to introduce myself and then asked a few scenario-based questions.

I applied online. About a month and a half later, I got an email for an interview/oral exam. It was a Zoom panel with 4 people. I was sent set questions 15 minutes before and couldn't ask anything. Two weeks later, I got an email to move on. The next interview was in person with two people. I was given questions on arrival but could ask questions and converse this time.

Behavioral Presentation
After submitting my application and supplemental questions, I got an invite for an "oral exam." I was alone in a room and given 8 questions to study and take notes on for 15 minutes. Then, I had to present my answers to three employees from the MPRB. They could only read the questions and couldn't give feedback or ask follow-ups. It felt really awkward and unnatural. The questions were mostly about past experiences and behavior, with very little technical stuff.

Behavioral Presentation
To get to the interview stage, you had to turn in a cover letter, résumé, and portfolio. After that, HR gave you a telephone screening interview. Then there was an in person panel interview where they asked 4-5 questions. Make sure to read the job description really well and get ready to talk about everything they listed. Also, like at most places, it's a good idea to try and talk to someone who already works there.
