Behavioral Technical Other
We had several rounds of interviews, the first two were virtual. They asked behavioral questions, why I wanted to join this company, and why growth equity. They also asked me to describe what I would ask a CEO on a sourcing call. A lot of the questions were to see if my personality would fit with the company and the role, especially the cold calling aspect.
