Behavioral Technical

The interview was about an hour long and had four interviewers, two of whom were from HR. They asked questions about the job and how my experience aligns with the position. When asked if I could perform in the role, I said yes, and one interviewer made a comment about how I can now but it will be different later. I waited about three weeks for an offer call.

Then a 2nd technical test with structured questions where you had to pick one engineering question to answer, plus a group case study that simulated a manager meeting with a simple business question. Finally, a 3rd panel interview with 2 interviewers and 3 interviewees.
