Technical Behavioral
The interview process was really chill and the interviewer was helpful in guiding me through the questions. A lot of the questions were technical and focused on common engineering problems. Most engineering students should be able to handle them if they prepare well.

Behavioral Technical
It was mostly behavioral questions, but some technical questions were asked at the end. They focused a lot on questions about my past internship experience. The interviewer was very nice and helpful, guiding me through the technical questions if I wasn't sure of the answer. They did ask technical questions about classes I hadn't taken yet, even though they had my transcript showing the courses I had taken.

Behavioral Technical
It was a one-hour phone chat with a seasoned Electrical Engineer with about 10 years of experience. They were quite nice and really listened to what I was saying. We kicked things off with brief self and program intros, then moved into some behavioral questions. After that, there were two technical questions: one on power systems and another on power electronics. My advice? Make sure you're solid on the technical knowledge needed for the job you're applying for.

Technical Behavioral
It was a one hour informal technical interview. They asked some basic behavioral questions, talked about my coursework, and asked me to identify schematic components. About a month later, I was flown out to Alexandria for a full day. This included lunch with some engineers, a quick rundown of the job with HR, and then two one-hour technical interviews. During these, they asked for resume details and some basic problems based on my transcript.
