Behavioral Technical
The interview process started with a disorganized recruiter who didn't remember me or what I applied for, which was a red flag. Then, the hiring manager bragged about being more qualified than me. The next two interviews were so insulting that I just gave mumbled answers and got 'uh huh' responses. I'm not interested in this company at all. The hiring manager's ego is huge and unearned.

Technical Coding
It started with an HR phone screen, then a phone interview with the hiring manager, and finally an on-site interview. The whole process lasted about 5-6 weeks. There was very little to no feedback provided after each step. Everyone seemed extremely busy, and even the on-site interview felt like an imposition. I was given lunch but no time to actually eat it. The interview questions were alright, including some problem-solving and a lot of technical detail. I was asked the same technical questions during the phone interview and the on-site. It didn't seem like much thought was put into the technical aspects of the interview. The company overall appeared disorganized and chaotic.

Behavioral Technical
I got an email from the recruiter about a week after applying online, and they set up a phone screening for me. It was a super short call, maybe 10-15 minutes long. They said they'd let me know if they wanted to proceed to the next step with the hiring manager.
