Behavioral Technical Coding
Had a 3-stage interview process. First was a quick HR call about the role, salary, and what they were looking for. Then, I talked to a technical person. We went over my past experience and I got a good understanding of the job details and how the team operates. The last stage was a live coding challenge. It was pretty straightforward, but the platform had issues with the C++ standard they mentioned. After all that, I heard nothing back, no rejection, no feedback, which was pretty unprofessional.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process included a few steps. First, there was a meeting with the team so I could get to know them. Then, I had a skills assessment. Lastly, I met with the boss. The team was nice and helpful. But, things got a bit weird and uncomfortable at the end. The last question was pretty direct.

Technical Coding Case Presentation Behavioral
Started with a Skype call with the team-leader/manager. A month later, I had an on-site interview which involved a case study. This was with the team-leader, the team, the line manager, and finally HR. An offer came about two weeks after that. Overall, the interviews were respectful, relaxed, and professional, with a good team spirit and an assessment of soft skills.
