Behavioral Presentation
The process started with a hiring screen with the recruiter, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. Then, there was a panel interview with other managers, HR, and SEs to make sure I was a good fit for the team. To wrap things up, I had to do a mock demo. Pretty standard process overall.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Started with a recruiter call to chat about my background and skills to see if I was a good fit. Then, I had a 1:1 with the hiring manager where they mostly asked operational questions instead of getting to know me. The next part was a cultural interview with specific behavioral questions, and I'd be careful with my answers because they seemed to be looking for something very particular. The final round involved a mock renewal presentation with the hiring manager and a CSM, using fake customer data that was incomplete. I asked for clarification on the data beforehand but didn't hear back. Honestly, I felt like they already had someone in mind and I was just there to tick a box. The recruiter tried to give feedback but we never reconnected.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Case
It was a straightforward process with 4 calls: a screen, two manager interviews, and then a demo pitch and role play. It took about 4 weeks to finish. The demo and pitch back was the hardest part, but they gave us enough material to prep. They put emphasis on disco during the role play.
