Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied on LinkedIn and they got back to me about a week later. The first part was a call with HR where they asked some technical questions. If that went well, the next step was a panel interview with 3 or 4 team leads. This panel interview focused on basic questions about Spring boot, problem solving, Java, and also some behavioral questions. The questions weren't too tough, and I felt I answered everything correctly, but I was rejected after three weeks because they found someone else. Maybe it was related to my work authorization.

Behavioral Technical Other
Three rounds of interviews total. The first two were done online because of COVID, but the third was in person. The first interview was with the director of my department, and the second was with HR. Then there was a session with a licensed psychologist to check my readiness for the role. If they want to hire you, you'll get invited back for a third interview. During the third interview, you'll see the kind of stuff you'd be working with daily, and then you'll have a debrief with a licensed counselor who's there to help you decide if the company and job are a good fit for you.

Behavioral Technical
The interview was about 30 minutes. First, I had a phone call with a Supervisor, and then an in-person meeting with the Manager. The Manager seemed rushed, constantly checking their watch, and it felt more like a rapid-fire Q&A than a conversation. It was a bit awkward and hard to gauge their reactions. Following up was tricky since I wasn't given a business card or direct contact info, so I had to call the centers and ask around. They only used first names, saying 'we use first names here.' So, I ended up mailing letters addressed to just the first name. I'm not sure if this indicates a lack of interest. Not getting a tour might also mean something, perhaps due to privacy concerns or again, no interest. It's hard to tell until I hear back.
