Behavioral Technical
This was a super thorough and well-run interview process. There were three main parts: first, a quick 30-minute screen. Then, a longer topgrading interview for about 60-90 minutes where we just talked about my resume and past experiences. Finally, there were four 30-minute one-on-one chats with different team members to check out my competencies. The hiring manager was really great about communicating and always got back to me quickly, and I felt like they did a good job of getting to know me.

Behavioral Technical
First, there was a phone screen with someone from HR. The second round was a Zoom interview with two people more senior than me. I didn't get to the third round, which I was told would have been a Zoom with four people who would have been my colleagues. The first call was easy and nice, but the second interview was really awkward because the interviewers seemed uninterested and unfriendly. They asked some questions about my management style and behavioral things, which were fine, but some questions felt like they were for a higher-level position, not really fitting for this role. I knew after that interview and because of the interviewers' vibe that I didn't want to continue. Even after I sent a thank you note, nobody from the company got back to me, not even with a generic email saying I didn't get the job. This company has a great mission, and maybe the interviewers were just having an off day, but I felt like they didn't value my time as a candidate.
