Behavioral Technical Coding
So basically, I had a phone screen interview with two engineers. They asked pretty standard stuff like 'What do you know about the company?' and 'Why do you want to work for us?' A week later, they called me again to set up another phone interview since I'm in Texas. This second one was pretty intense. The same two engineers hit me with a bunch of questions, like situational, behavioral, and technical ones. It was about 45 minutes long. The week after that, I got invited for an in-person interview in Vegas. They asked a few more questions, like 'Tell us about yourself' and 'Tell us about your leadership experience.' I also had to do a math/engineering test and write a letter about handling a conflict. They also gave me some background info on the company.

Behavioral Technical
I applied online for an intern position and got a call a week later to schedule a phone interview for that same week. The phone interview was with two supervisors from different departments who were looking for a computer science intern for the summer. It was more of a personality interview, not super technical. They just asked about programming languages I know and how confident I am with each. I got the offer call about a week and a half later, and then started the onboarding process with the temp agency two weeks after that.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
After submitting an online application, I had a 30-minute phone interview with two interviewers where we discussed the company and general introductory questions. Then, there was an in-person interview that lasted about 3 hours with a panel of three interviewers (two engineers and one HR person). They each took turns asking questions and taking notes. Lastly, there was a 5-minute presentation based on a topic given beforehand.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Interviewers follow a set list of questions, rotating who asks while all take notes. Expect many situational, some behavioral, and a few technical questions. Your writing skills will also be assessed. Scheduling interview dates is inflexible. The interview was unnecessarily challenging.
