Technical Behavioral

It was a pretty slow process. After I applied online, there was a quick 15-minute phone screening. A few days later, I had a 1-hour on-site interview with the hiring manager. Then, I had a second round with both the manager and their skip-level manager. Everyone I met was smart, worked hard, and was really friendly. I got the offer pretty soon after the last interview. Just be prepared for a background check that takes a really long time.

Technical Behavioral

I applied online and then got a call. It was a panel interview with 3 people. They asked both technical and non-technical questions. It seemed to go okay, but they were looking for some hardware experience, and I mostly have software experience. I did explain my previous hardware experience, but maybe they weren't completely satisfied.
