Behavioral Technical

Applied directly to an interview, which then led to an offer. The interview was conducted over Teams. Two senior team members were present. They decide which team you would be the best fit for and you interview with that team. It was about five behavioral and two technical questions. The interviewers made me feel comfortable and we could joke around. They introduced themselves very politely. This might differ with other interviewers.

Behavioral Technical

They started with explaining how the process was going to work, then moved on to asking questions. Standard behavioral questions were asked, like 'tell me about yourself' and 'tell me about a time when'. The interviewers were friendly. They took notes the whole time, but I didn't get an offer, so I guess I didn't do that well.
