Behavioral Technical Coding

Had a 1-hour interview for research work. They asked about my background and more technical questions for cloud security. Also got some behavioral questions. They also gave me a coding challenge. A lot of questions about my previous work experiences.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process involved a one-on-one meeting with a manager, who would potentially be a team member in this small department. They assess candidates for a specific skill set based on the current project needs. In my case, they were undecided on the technology for their software package development, so the interview was more general.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • We had an easy discussion about the progress of my previous internship project, as the interviewer was familiar with it.
