Behavioral Technical
The first round was about my understanding of the role. The second round involved talking about past projects. Overall it was a good experience. The second interviewer had their camera off, so I wasn't very sure of their feedback.

Behavioral Technical
Started with a phone chat with a VP, covering fit and some tech stuff. Then, a virtual "super day" via Skype with four back-to-back 1-on-1s, mixing behavioral and technical questions. They were super helpful and sped things up because I had another offer deadline, so I finished all interviews in under 5 business days. Got the decision call just 3 minutes after the last interview.
