Behavioral Coding

I applied for an IT intern role focused on data infrastructure. The interview started with a discussion about my resume, covering my personal projects, achievements, and roles. The interviewer then asked me some SQL questions and I had to type my query answers directly in the chat. It was a fun experience talking to the interviewer, ngl.

Technical Behavioral

Online interview, short and only on superficial topics. Search for specific knowledge. Very few positions for engineers, only chemists are sought. Very formal and simple interview. They didn't receive my CV until I marked it.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • What are your professional studies?
  • What is your work experience?

Behavioral Technical

I applied through the company website and then got picked from an on-campus interview where I was asked behavioral questions. I was then selected for a second round of interviews at the headquarters. There, I had to take a written multiple-choice test. After that, I had a one-on-one interview with five C-level executives, including HR. The interview was okay, but by the end of the day, I was exhausted because everyone asked the same type of behavioral questions.
