Behavioral Technical

I initially spoke with recruiters at my university's career fair and then applied online. About six weeks after applying, I was contacted to schedule a 45-minute phone interview. The interviewer was friendly and mostly asked behavioral questions, inquiring about my research. The very next day, I was invited to schedule an onsite interview at their headquarters in CA. During the onsite visit, I completed four 45-minute interviews that included both technical and behavioral questions. While some interviewers were well-prepared, one manager mostly wanted me to ask him questions, making me wonder if he was testing my interest or just being disengaged. After nearly two weeks, I received a confusing request for another phone interview, despite having already flown out for an onsite. A few days after this final phone call, I was informed I did not get the job.

Behavioral Technical Coding

I got recruited at a career fair, then had an on-campus interview. After that, I was invited for an on-site interview. The campus interview was pretty chill, not too technical, mostly to see if I was a good fit. The on-site interview was tough, five hours long with five different people, an hour each. It had deep personal and technical questions, including coding and logic puzzles.

Behavioral Technical Coding

It was an on-campus interview initially. Mostly behavioral questions and one calculation question I saw in other reviews. The interviewer was nice and it was a relaxed interview. I got a call back soon for a follow-up interview. The second interview was on-site and they covered travel expenses. There, I met with 3-4 people from the company who asked more behavioral and technical questions. Make sure to review your programming skills and be prepared for unusual questions.
