Behavioral Technical
Applied and was contacted quickly to start the interview process. Within a week, completed 2 phone/video interviews and a morning of in-person interviews. The company was very responsive and the process felt positive, like they valued my interest. However, they went silent for a month before finally rejecting me, which was a disappointing end after a seemingly great start.

Behavioral Technical System Design Presentation
Had one 30 min call with the hiring manager to discuss background, resume, and past projects. Then a virtual on-site with several engineers from the team and other teams. Most of these were design questions, with a few technical and resume questions. The technical questions were pretty straightforward and easy.
