Behavioral Technical Presentation
I had a 4-person panel interview. Three folks were leads or supervisors, and there was the hiring manager. They asked normal questions about my experience and if I could handle myself in different scenarios. After the interview, they gave me a tour to show me the workspace and what the job entails.

Behavioral
Before going to the interview, I looked up the interviewers on LinkedIn to learn about them. On the day of the interview, I ran into the hiring manager in the hallway and greeted them. The manager then became very angry. The four of us went to the conference room, and the manager said the interview would be very quick as they didn't have much time. I asked if they wanted to reschedule. I felt they might have been having a bad day and took it out on me. The atmosphere was very negative. The other two interviewers seemed shocked and tried to ease the tension. I decided to withdraw my interest and was glad to leave.

Behavioral Technical Other
It was a really thorough and tough interview process. There were about 4-5 rounds, both virtual and in-person, involving HR, the hiring manager, and even a very senior leader. I had to complete aptitude assessments like Korn Ferry and Hogan. Even though I did well on those and got positive feedback from the face-to-face interviews, I didn't end up getting the job. It felt like a waste of time, maybe it's a company thing to hire proactively rather than for an actual opening.
