Behavioral Technical Coding
We started with a phone screen for about 30 mins, which was mainly a resume walk-through and some behavioral questions. Then, a technical screen via video call for about 45 mins, where they asked more in-depth questions about my work experiences and projects, plus technical security questions. The final round was also a video call, around 45 mins, combining both behavioral and technical aspects, presented to a panel.

Behavioral Technical
I applied on their website and went through a phone screen, a phone interview, and then an on-site interview. About two weeks after the on-site, a recruiter told me I wasn't qualified for the role I'd interviewed for. However, they did offer me a more junior position. I said I was interested, and SNC gave me a verbal offer. I tried to negotiate, and they came back with a new offer, but then they rescinded it. When I asked for the offer in writing, they told me the position was cancelled. It was a really unprofessional experience.

I applied online and after 9 days, got an email to schedule a phone interview. I used their scheduling tool and was told the recruiter would call. The scheduled time passed, and 30 minutes later, still no call. I emailed the recruiter, who replied that he'd canceled but didn't know I wasn't notified and apologized. He offered to reschedule, and I sent my availability. Later that night, I got a notification that I was no longer being considered. It's frustrating to have your hopes raised and then your time wasted.

I applied and got a screening interview 5 weeks later. Then, 2 weeks after that, I had a video interview. A week after the video interview, I had an onsite interview. After the onsite, I didn't hear anything for a while because the recruiter was on vacation. I was referred to 3 other HR people. They said they were interviewing other people and would let me know in 2 weeks. It took another 2 weeks, but I finally got a call saying I didn't get the job.
