The interview took up most of the day. The people were nice, but the management was terrible. I was told multiple times that if I wasn't willing to work extremely long hours, I wasn't a "team player." They said I'd hear back in about a week, but it took over 3 weeks. HR finally emailed to say they had hired someone else. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't end up working there.

Behavioral Technical
It was a fast process with easy questions. The interviewers were peers, managers, and the head of the department. The team seemed tired, perhaps overworked and short on time to conduct the interview, but that was okay. The team seemed nice, though the atmosphere felt a bit off. I felt rushed throughout and didn't have enough time to ask everyone all the questions I had. Ultimately, I decided against working there as the individuals felt disconnected and unprepared.
