Behavioral Technical
The interviewers were really nice. It was mostly behavioral questions. You should prepare some scenarios and be ready to discuss your resume. They also asked me to talk about a project where I did data analysis. It's a good idea to have some questions for the interviewers ready for the end. I was interviewed by two people.

Behavioral
It was a pretty straightforward process, just one interview where I met with a few program managers. It was all behavioral, and they were really nice and professional. They seemed to be looking for people who were enthusiastic and could work well in a team, basically common sense people. I got the offer about one to two weeks after the interview.

Behavioral
The interview was 45 minutes long and didn't have any tricky questions. They mainly asked me to describe myself and share what I know about PANYNJ. The interviewers seemed grumpy and unfriendly. It's been two months since my interview, and despite following up by email and phone, and even traveling four hours for an in-person interview, I haven't heard back. It felt very unprofessional, so I don't think it's worth your time.

I had a one hour call with 4 people who were on the Enterprise Asset Management Team. They asked me about 10 behavioral questions about my work experience, technical projects, etc. After the interview, they sent me a practical to be completed in 3 days that tested data analysis skills. They sent me my decision about a month later, but were very kind and quick to respond to emails.
