Behavioral Technical

It was very by the book, with a series of three questions. The interview panel, consisting of three people, was not very personable. The whole interview lasted about 45 minutes. I'm not sure how I did because it felt very robotic and they lacked people skills. I had to ask about the timeline for candidate selection, and they mentioned they were in the early stages of interviewing. So now I'm just waiting. #fingerscrossed

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was pretty straightforward. Mostly behavioral questions, but they did touch on the technical aspects mentioned in my resume. I got contacted by them about a month after I applied. During the interview, they mostly asked about my qualifications and then explained the job and the role itself. They asked a lot of questions about workplace scenarios.

Behavioral Technical

Ridiculously rigid process of sticking to a behavioral interview script. If you are thinking of working here, research behavioral type interviews. Alot of technical abilities are not given a chance to preview with this process.
