Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
First, I had a 20-minute chat with HR about my past work and what I'm looking for now, also discussing salary. They have a set budget which felt a bit low, but I still wanted to see what else was there. Then, I had a panel interview with two people. It started with introductions, which felt off, and then talking about my recent jobs. One person jumped into really basic Java questions. There were two times when the interviewer interrupted and kind of went on a tangent about what they thought, which I found a bit unprofessional. I was pretty much done mentally but kept going. Honestly, it was the worst interview I've had, but I think with some changes to how the interviewers act, it could be way better.

Behavioral Technical Coding
It kicked off with a video call where HR gave a good rundown of the role and company. Then there were two technical interviews, video or in-person, with the hiring managers. They hit me with a bunch of tough technical questions and tests, like real-world problems. The managers were cool, answered all my questions, and I felt a good vibe. The whole thing was quick, which I liked. HR was super responsive and helpful.
