Behavioral Technical
The interview process was alright. I didn't get the job after the second interview, which is fine. However, they sent an automatic email saying I didn't get the job instead of a personalized one, even though I made it all the way to the second interview and they mentioned it was between me and one other person. I would have really liked some personal feedback on why I didn't get the role.

I applied online and the recruiter reached out pretty fast, within a day, to set up a phone screen. Then I had two technical interviews about a week after. Got the offer a couple days after the last interview.
