Behavioral Technical
The management staff at Paragon has changed a lot over the years and seems to be going downhill. I noticed this when Paragon was a subcontractor for a Space Station project I was involved with at a NASA Space Flight center. Paragon verbally offered me a job and said I could choose any of three locations: Denver, Houston, or Tucson. They said they would send a written offer after I made my selection. I told them I wanted to go to Tucson. After that, they completely ignored me. I got no responses to any of my emails or follow-up phone calls. There was no explanation or communication at all. How unprofessional. This happened before I even started. You might have a similar experience shortly after you start or accept a position. I would advise not to relocate for an alleged opportunity. Buyer beware.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
It was a chill interview, asked some design questions and what you like to do with your life. It was a very good interview to get to know other people as well. Just talk about what you know and what you don't.

Technical
Went through a recruiter agency. The interview was nice, and I liked the job, but I might be confirmed as not being a 100% fit. One interviewer spent about 5 minutes on the interview because they had another meeting. I think it's unfair; it's better to exclude yourself from the interview process completely than to give some lame feedback (because of the short time you spent with a person).

First, there was a phone chat and they checked my references. My references had to answer questions about me. Then, I had two real interviews. One was a technical interview with about five managers and senior engineers on a panel. The last interview was just me and the HR director.
