Behavioral Technical
It was a multi-stage interview process where I met with various individuals from different departments. This provided a good understanding of the company culture and feel. It was a bit repetitive, but it was a good chance to get to know the people I'd be working with and get a feel for the organization.

Technical Behavioral
Standard interview asking the usual tough questions. Really try to pick apart your technical knowledge. Not the most professional I have encountered as there was a lot of system issues and one interviewee was late. Very direct approach and stern in their questioning.

Behavioral Case Presentation
The interviewers were pleasant. We started with a couple of behavioral interviews, and the last part was a case interview. This case required me to prepare and give a full presentation. I got the case questions right and apparently did well, but I didn't get an offer in the end.
