Case Behavioral
Applied online and then booked my interview myself. It was a panel interview with 4 people, and each asked about 3 questions. I also had to do a case study. The questions were pretty typical, but the interviewers felt kind of cold and distant, which was a bit awkward. I tried to follow up with the recruiter but got no response, and then just got an automated rejection email about a week later.
