Behavioral Technical
Had an HR screening first, then went into group interviews with the team members and managers. They were really focused on STAR format answers. It was mostly behavioral questions, but they did ask some deep dives into my project and resume experience and some technical stuff, but it wasn't like a formal technical interview or anything, and I didn't have to code.

Behavioral Technical Group
I applied for an analyst position I saw online, and the whole thing took about 6 weeks. There were quite a few interviews, around four, and a few of them were group interviews. It was pretty formal, and they really liked the STAR method. I thought I did okay, but they ended up not picking me. It felt like they already knew who they wanted, especially since my interview was delayed. Everyone was really nice, and they all had been there for over 15 years. Coming from big companies, it felt a bit inefficient. Spending over four hours just to get rejected felt like a lot. It's a big company, I get it, and it seems like a decent place to work, but the process was too long and felt repetitive. It wasn't hard, just really tedious.

- Just look up common STAR interview questions online, and that's pretty much what to expect. Nothing more to it than that.

Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty rigorous interview process - almost TOO long. First there was a phone interview screening, then an online personality/skills test, and finally the marathon session of in-person interviews (4 total). Everyone came very prepared with notes and had specific things they were looking for (one for fit, one for technical skills, one for ability to articulate findings, etc.). I found myself repeating my stories and answers a bit too much, but I have to say it was the most thorough process I have been a part of. However, because they were so prepared, I had very little time to ask my own questions, and I was hesitant to do so to avoid delaying the process any more. Everyone conducted him/herself very professionally and was easy to relate to (for the most part).
