Behavioral Technical
This was a fairly typical interview process with 3 stages: first a recruiter screen, then a technical interview, and finally a panel interview. My advice would be to make sure you've got the fundamentals down, and also to really dig into the specifics of the role you're applying for and what you find most interesting about the tech you'd be working with.

Case Behavioral
This was a long and tough interview process for the company. The first 3 rounds were pretty simple. The "super day" interview was super long and I was left alone in a Zoom room a few times. A lot of the interviewers were nice and easy to talk to, and I could work through the case with them. One person was more judgmental and didn't seem to care that I had only had two 15-minute breaks in the last 4 hours of interviews. I felt like they prepared me well for all the interviews on the super day except for the last one.
