My interview went really well! I was a bit nervous at first, but the two employees on the call made it very welcoming and easy to talk to while I answered their questions. They asked pretty standard interview questions about teamwork, conflicts, time management, and my interest in the company.

The interview went well. I was called for a follow-up a few days later, and the recruiter left me a voicemail. I called her back, but never heard from her again. Now, two months later, the role was eliminated and I just received an email about it. The recruiter's slowness was a real buzzkill.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty standard, mostly behavioral questions using the STAR method. If you're comfortable with interviews and don't get too nervous, you should do great. The interviewers were really understanding and patient with me, which helped with my interview anxiety. I haven't heard back in a while, so I'm guessing I didn't get the job.

- Describe a time you encountered a challenging team member and your approach.
