Behavioral

I had one phone screen, then two behavioural interviews that were about a week and a half apart, both on zoom. Mostly easy behavioural questions about my resume, projects etc. It took a while between each stage, so don't lose heart if you don't hear back straight away.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Since you have a more technical background, how would you justify that?

Behavioral Presentation Case

The interview started with a good chat with HR, which was relaxed and welcoming. The second interview with the team leaders began well, but then took a turn for the worse. They asked about college courses I failed or withdrew from from 10-12 years ago, which I found irrelevant given my recent professional experience. They also questioned my presentation, which followed their instructions exactly, and even asked if I had read the case, which felt insulting and contrary to their stated values.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you share an instance where you received criticism, detailing the criticism and its outcome?
  • Tell me about any courses from your early college years that you failed or withdrew from.
  • Could you address the accuracy of your presentation?
