Technical Behavioral
It was a great experience, really nice and straightforward. They asked knowledge-based and behavioral questions. The only downside was the long time they took to get back, and the offer was quite low, which I ended up rejecting. I might have considered it if it had been more flexible with working hours, but it wasn't.
