Behavioral
First, I had a phone screen with a recruiter, then a phone screen with the hiring manager. After that, there was a panel interview where I met with two groups of two people each. Sometimes, there's a secondary follow-up interview with the hiring manager. Finally, they either extend an offer or it's a decline.

Behavioral Technical
The whole process took around 2 months. It started with a pymetrics assessment, followed by an HR interview. The final round consisted of two back-to-back hour-long interviews with a VP and a manager. The initial phone call with the recruiter was pretty informal, lasting about 30 minutes. However, the final round was more intense, featuring about 12-15 behavioral questions in total. Apparently, if you make it to the final round, they already see you as qualified and are mainly assessing your culture fit. Compared to more technical interviews, it wasn't too bad, though it was still one of the more challenging behavioral interviews I've experienced. Just be sure to have plenty of experiences ready to discuss and link them to the values Reynolds/BAT looks for. One of the VPs even advised me before our interview to 'make sure to answer every question with a story.' So, definitely use the STAR method and focus on the results.
