Behavioral Technical
It was a really nice experience. I had two calls with HR, one person was from Serbia and the other from the US. After that, I had a technical interview with a test automation expert and the principal developer who would be my manager. The technical part wasn't too hard. I ended up accepting the job offer.

First up was an HR phone screening with general questions. Then, a technical round, mostly focusing on behavioral questions. They were looking for skills I don't have experience with. Overall, not a great experience.

Technical Coding
I interviewed for a Test Automation Engineer role and had a strange experience in Frisco with two Indian interviewers. They mainly asked me development-related questions, even though I mentioned my selenium UI automation background and they only asked two selenium questions. Despite answering most technical questions, I was rejected. They seemed more focused on my experience than my technical skills.
