Technical Behavioral

The interview process was efficient and swift. It primarily involved technical questions, but there was also an emphasis on assessing cultural fit within the company. I interviewed with the accountants and the manager of the division, who all came across as approachable and open-minded individuals.

Behavioral Technical

I interviewed for an accounting position. The first interview was with HR, and the second was with two managers, one of whom was the head of accounting. I was told a decision would be made within two weeks, even though there were only two candidates, including myself. After 2.5 weeks with no word, I called HR and found out they were canceling the internship program. They apologized, but my time was already wasted.

Behavioral

I had a phone interview with a recruiter from the main office in Texas. Then, she sent my resume to the local office to set up an in-person interview with the manager and the head of the accounting department. They were both really nice and open. It was a behavioral interview for both parts. They said they'd let me know about the next steps via the recruiter, but I just got an email saying they hired someone else.
