Behavioral

The interview felt a bit rushed. She went through my resume and asked questions based off of my experience, but otherwise did not ask many questions. I think off the bat she felt I was not qualified for the position (even though it was an entry-level position), and just wanted to get through it.

Technical Behavioral

It was a 3 hour long interview, with multiple people back-to-back. It was for 3 different projects/teams within I&C. I was given a break halfway through, which helped. It was a good interview in terms of both asking and answering question about the job. Though they did seem annoyed that I preferred working remotely if possible. I didn't hear back after the interview, until I emailed asking for an update almost a month later.
