Behavioral

The process was pretty straightforward. They're mostly looking for bilingual people. I do wish the recruiter on the phone interview had a bit more knowledge about the actual position; it made it a little difficult trying to ask questions directly related to the role.

Technical Behavioral

There were 3 rounds in total. First, an HR screen, then a technical interview, and finally an in-person interview with the director. The in-person interview is mandatory. The difficulty was average, and communication is key.

Case Presentation Behavioral

Got reached out to by the hiring manager directly, which was odd since there was no initial HR/recruiting screen. I then had two interviews. The second one involved a case study and presentation. After that, recruiting/HR got in touch, but they couldn't meet my salary expectations, so it felt like a bit of a waste of time. It would have been better if they had done a proper screening first.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process for this position was well-organized. It consisted of three rounds: HR, Manager, and Director. The initial rounds were pretty easy, with the main part of the interview being the round with the manager. The final decision was made pretty quickly, and I was able to join the company within 2-3 weeks. The HR round was mostly basic behavioral questions, while the manager round included technical questions.
