Technical Coding Behavioral
So first I got contacted by some external recruiter, then an internal recruiter sent me an email to apply online. After applying, I had a phone interview with some questions. Then the recruiter contacted me again saying they wanted me to come in for an on-site interview and to provide my availability and fill out another application. A few days later I got an email confirming my interview in 2 weeks and to bring my ID and passport for verification. When I got there, I went through several interviews. The first interviewer asked a lot of questions and then gave me a coding problem. The second interviewer was kinda rough and asked more questions and gave me more coding problems. The third interviewer, the hiring manager, didn't seem very interested and basically said they'd let me know in a couple of weeks. After that, I was supposed to leave my badge at the front desk.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied online and then got a surprise phone call for the first round, which I passed. It was a 30-minute call with no coding, just standard behavioral questions, a review of my resume, and some technical questions about Big O, Linux commands, and OOP. The interviewer was understanding if I couldn't recall specifics. A few weeks later, I went to Sunnyvale for the onsite interviews. There were 3 interviews, each about 45 minutes, plus a casual lunch chat. They asked 2 coding questions and delved into my resume, behavioral aspects (like when I decided to become a software engineer or a time I worked in a team), and technical topics like my preferred coding languages, OOP, and Linux. Everything felt tailored to my resume, so no surprises. It was a positive experience with nice people. I got an offer about a week later but I'm still thinking about it.

Behavioral Technical
I had some in-depth discussions with the recruiter, some of the technical leads, and the department director. We talked about my technical skills, how innovative I am, my experience with different development practices, clients I've worked with, and the environments I've been in. We also explored the kinds of problems I've tackled, and if I'm interested in solving tough problems on both old and new projects, and with existing code.
