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.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online without any referrals. The interview process was quite structured, using the STAR method. Two interviewers asked questions from a booklet and recorded my answers. The questions were pretty standard, so I was prepared. They didn't ask direct technical questions but asked me to talk about my technical background and school projects. After that, there was a simple reading and writing task. I also got to ask some questions at the end.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online and then had to do a HireVue. Unexpectedly, I was told to come in for an interview on a specific date without any flexibility, even though I live far away and was only notified three days prior. Upon arrival, I had trouble getting into the building. The interview itself was straightforward and went well, but I was rejected three weeks later, which was longer than the 1-2 week timeframe I was initially given. The HR department seems unresponsive and possibly overworked.
