Behavioral Technical

We had an online meeting where we talked about your work experience, your usual workflow, past projects, and what the company expects. Then we went over some typical tech questions. These were about how you'd handle different scenarios, like if you got specific feedback from a customer or ran into a particular problem with the software, or about what certain workflows might look like.

Behavioral Technical

It starts with a get-to-know-you chat where we talk about the roles, your career path, and what you're interested in. If that goes well, there's a technical interview. They'll mostly ask if you know the specific languages, programs, and platforms they use. These are often in-house solutions that a fresh grad wouldn't typically encounter unless they've pursued it on their own. After that, there are a few questions about your personal knowledge, like programming paradigms.
