I sat in a room with my resume and talked about my experience with one of the managers on the floor. It was a really friendly and quiet environment. We talked about my hard skills and how my personality, if I'm not problematic, would fit in.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was pretty straightforward! This company really values client focus, so if that's your thing, you'll likely do well. Honestly, if you've got solid interview skills, you'll be fine. They also seem to have a knack for spotting people who aren't being truthful. Plus, having a positive attitude and a clear sense of how you present yourself can definitely help.

The interview was in 2 parts. First was a group interview where we had to contribute answers. The second part was individual with someone who was obviously more difficult and judgmental, but not super hard. She was more interested in my experience and asked mostly practical questions, rather than psychological ones. This second interviewer was the one who received recommendations from the person in the group interview.
