Behavioral Technical

The process was pretty standard for an on-campus interview. Questions were mostly behavioral, with a couple of technical ones thrown in. They really focused on why I wanted the job and how my background fit. It was a good experience, but I didn't get an offer in the end.

Behavioral Case Technical

I had two 30-minute phone interviews, and then they flew me to Pittsburgh for a day of final interviews, which I think they called "Super Day." It was like five or six in-person chats, mostly behavioral, but one case study. A lot of the behavioral stuff was just me talking about my resume.

Behavioral Group Presentation

This was a super quick hiring process. I sent in my resume, and the very next day, a recruiter reached out to chat about the job and the pay. We then scheduled an in-person interview for the following week. During the interview, it was a group panel with two managers. They had me go through my resume, asking about my past work experience, education, and previous roles. After that, they went into detail about the job itself. I got a call with an offer the same day.
