Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
First, you answer some questions about situations that best describe you, and also some questions about working at the company. Then, you have an on-demand interview where you're given 3 questions, and you have 2 minutes to answer each of them. This part was chill, especially because you can re-record as many times as you want. The second part is a case study, which is quite tough. I recommend spending a lot of time on it.

It was just 3 hirevue questions. You have plenty of time to formulate an answer before responding. After answering, you can retake the recording if you are not happy with your response as many times (however I'm sure there is a point system that checks how many retakes)
