Behavioral Technical

The interview will focus mostly on behavioral questions. They’re meant to give a sense of how you’ve handled different situations in the past. They’ll ask you about specific moments in your career where you’ve had to navigate challenges, work with a team, or make decisions under pressure. These kinds of questions help interviewers understand how you approach problem-solving and whether your approach will work in the role you’re applying for.

Coding Technical Behavioral

We started with an OA/Hirevue which included an AI-driven conversational behavioral component. Then there was a final round which consisted of one behavioral and one technical interview. The technical part focused on general OOP concepts like classes and runtimes, as well as knowledge of programming languages, rather than Leetcode-style problems.
