Behavioral
I was contacted by a team member to set up a panel interview. The panel interview was only 30 minutes long, not enough time for me to ask my questions. I was asked standard behavioral questions and questions about my past experience. They said I would hear back by the end of the week. But two weeks went by and no call or email about their decision. They ghosted me, which was unprofessional.

First off was a phone call with about 10 people. Mostly soft skill questions, less technical ones. Then I got a call back a week later for a technical test, which was done over the phone with one person who answered my questions about it. Finally, there was a third in person interview with the whole team.
Confirmed questions1 question
- They asked a modified fizz buzz question, which I wasn't expecting.
