Behavioral Case Technical
The interview process began with a first-round chat with Human Resources, focusing on behavioral and motivational aspects. Following that, a second round involved a case study about a company. This part was more technical and required some prior research, but it was manageable. Typically, there are about 2 to 3 more interviews to go through.
