Behavioral Coding Presentation
First, I had an introductory call with the recruiter. Then, they sent me logic and English tests. Later, there was a call with another recruiter where they asked me some questions in English. Finally, I had a personal and in-person presentation (with all candidates) in a pitch format about my professional journey, explaining why I should work at the company. It's worth noting that the formal parts started 1.5 hours late, and it wasn't mentioned that it would last the whole day, although they did offer meals.

Behavioral Technical Case
I was contacted by a recruiter who phone interviewed me about myself and my background. After two weeks, I had an online interview with HR and the Hiring Manager. There were two stages of interviews: the first online, and the second face-to-face. The HR representative mentioned that for the second interview, they would have to wait until I returned to my home country because I was living abroad at the time. It was a good interview experience with Sabic overall. However, the recruiting process was slow, taking 2 to 4 weeks for Sabic to respond.
