Behavioral Technical Coding
The HR and VP were super nice and the initial steps of getting hired were fast and smooth. But, my panel interview experience was not good. The interviewers seemed to not respect me or be professional. Some of them didn't turn their cameras on, which made it feel distant. The audio was bad too, so it was hard to talk. When I answered things they didn't like, some interviewers looked annoyed, drooping their heads and showing they were impatient. I was asked the same things over and over, which made me feel awkward and disrespected the whole time.

Behavioral Technical
So, there were like 3 rounds total, with different people each time. First, we did a resume walk where they wanted to understand my past experiences. Then, I met with the hiring manager for a behavioral interview, mostly to see if I was a good company and job fit. Finally, there was a panel interview, which included people from many different teams, to check out my competencies, growth aspects, and cultural fit.

Behavioral Technical
I was contacted by a recruiter via email. Then, I had a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager. The interview went well and they asked about my salary expectations at the end. The hiring manager sounded positive at the end of the call, so I was a little hopeful. Unfortunately, after more than a month and three follow-ups, I was informed they chose another candidate. The follow-ups were manageable as the recruiter replied to every email on the same day, which is great. Most recruiters ghost candidates until we nag them for a decision, even if it's a negative one. The interviewing part was fast, but the wait for a decision was frustrating, especially since I didn't have other interviews scheduled at the time.

Technical Behavioral
I went through a thorough 4-5 round interview process for this mid-tier private company, focusing a lot on technical skills. A consultant who interviewed me gave me a really tough technical grilling, but seemed excited about the possibility of us working together. Everyone, especially the hiring manager who I thought was really genuine, seemed smart, skilled, and easy to talk to. It's interesting because after 28 years in my career, this is my first time choosing a mid-tier private company over a Fortune 50 one. I guess I feel like it's better to work with inspiring leaders than just managers.
