I had an interview on Teams with 2 managers. We talked about how you manage your pipeline to make deadlines. They also asked about company culture and remote work. There were questions about how you handle different situations internally and with customers.

Behavioral Technical

The typical interview process involved three rounds. Initially, I spoke with a recruiter. Then, I had an interview with the director of the department. The final interview was a joint session with the current lock desk manager and his supervisor. Unfortunately, after completing all three interviews, I never received any feedback on my application or even a courtesy notification that I hadn't been selected for the position.

I interviewed with my manager and her manager. The first interview was one on one. The second interview was over the phone with a Senior manager in CT. The first interview was a little loan-focused. She asked about my background, personality, and work style. The second interview was more about what I could bring to the company.

It was a two part interview. First I talked to the recruiter. Then a couple days later, I interviewed with the Customer Service Manager. Both interviews felt like we were just getting to know each other, talking about my experience and their expectations for the role. The manager also asked some STAR questions.
