There were 2 HR screening calls where it was a debrief of you to them. Then 2 screening calls with team members which was largely a brief, not a debrief. Followed by 1 video interview with a senior department official. A background check was completed. An offer was extended.

I first got an invitation for a pre-screening call with HR. Right after that, she sent me a technical screening form that was time-limited. After passing this step, I was invited to two technical interviews. After passing both, I got an email from HR with the offer. They also asked for recommendations from my previous employers and all personal info needed for the background check. Overall, it was a very professional and smooth experience.

Behavioral Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview process involved an initial conversation with the recruiter about behavior and previous experience, followed by an onsite a couple weeks later. During the first onsite, I was given a security scenario and was tasked with whiteboarding the high-level steps on I would take to respond. The second part was two technical problems. A week later I had my second onsite where I got to meet other team members and the CEO to go over some of my experience and other culture fit related topics.

Behavioral Technical
Had an initial phone screen that was mostly behavioral questions. Then the recruiter asked a few basic technical questions. It was a Q&A. The company seems nice, but it's too far for me. I'd still recommend them, though. Proficio is in Vista, Carlsbad, near the 78 and San Marcos Blvd.
