Behavioral
I interviewed with many staff from different teams, and they all seemed dedicated. It was impressive that so many had worked there for many years. Some interviewers were not prepared and hadn't reviewed my resume, but others were. The interview process was very time-consuming, requiring two trips and too many interviews. Some interviews were professionally coordinated, while others were poorly coordinated. They could have made a decision with many fewer interviews and better respected my time and opportunity cost.
