Behavioral Technical
Had a quick phone screen first, then they invited me for an in-person interview. It was with the Director of Clinical Operations and a Manager from Clinical Operations. They dug deep into my resume, so know your resume inside and out because they ask really specific questions about it. The whole interview took about an hour. They were really nice during the phone call and also when I met them in person.

The process felt disorganized with too many people involved. I had to complete a background check form even before the actual interview. Some interviewers acted entitled and used unprofessional language, like dropping the 'F' bomb.
