Behavioral Other

The interview process felt very friendly, with a focus more on whether I'd be a good culture fit than on tangible skills. There were only a few quantitative questions; most of it was informal discussion about the kind of person I am. Each interview was about 30 minutes long, and there were two of them.

Behavioral

It was introductory and the interviewer asked me behavioral questions, such as to expand more on my resume. They didn't reach back out to me with more details on their full time or internship though, so that is a bit unprofessional.

It started with an informal informational interview where I met with different department leaders. At the time, there wasn't a position available. About six months later, I had my first round interview, which was a roundtable with the Business Development Team. They asked standard interview questions. They seemed to care about character as much as, if not more than, experience. Knowing the industry was a big plus, but not a requirement.
