Behavioral Technical
I waited two weeks for HR to reach out. Then, there was a one-week period for the HR and panel interview. It was all via Teams meeting and lasted 30 minutes. HR was hesitant to answer some of my questions, saying that details would be shared only after a contract was in place, which felt a bit shady.

After you apply, they'll look at your resume to see if you're a good fit. If you are, they'll probably give you a quick call or video chat to talk about your background and why you want the job. Depending on the role, you might have to do a skills test or a case study. Then, you'll chat with the hiring manager about your experience and how you work. Finally, you might meet with a few team members to see how you'd fit in and work with them.

The process started with a phone interview where HR asked about my resume and SAS skills. Then, there was an onsite technical interview for the intern position with four team members.
