Behavioral Technical
I first spoke with the company at a career fair and then applied online. The interview itself was quite long, about 2.5 hours total. It was mostly behavioral, asking about my interest in the company and the industry, along with some questions about courses I've taken. There were 5 interviewers, and each session lasted about 30 minutes. They were all really friendly and helpful when I asked them questions.

It was a pretty nice and straightforward process. After we scheduled an interview time, my recruiter Mary sent a really detailed email explaining the whole thing and what to expect. The last interview, which was 2 hours long and virtual, went super smoothly. Mary started by giving me a rundown of the company and the role, and told me who I'd be meeting with. Then, I had three interviews back-to-back with some engineers, and they were really productive. The questions were mostly behavioral, focusing on project and teamwork, and how I handle my time when I have a lot of things to do.

Interviews were either one hour or half hour, mostly video calls but some were in-person. They asked stuff about my leadership style, how I handle projects, my practical skills, and any management challenges or conflicts I've dealt with. Had some good chats with people who seemed friendly and interesting. They also asked good questions about what it's like to work there.

The initial part of the process was pretty quick. I had a 45 minute video chat with the hiring manager, then a 3 hour panel interview with some engineers. They said I'd hear back in about two weeks after the panel, but it actually took them over a month and a half to respond, even after I sent four follow-up emails and they promised to get back to me by certain dates that they missed. When they finally did get back to me after that long wait, they offered me a job, but it was for a lower position than what I applied for. By the time they made the offer, I had already taken a much better job somewhere else.
