Behavioral Technical
I got an email from HR for an initial screening. She was super quick and set up a call for the next day, which was really chill and easy. Right after that, I had a video interview with a manager. We had a good chat, and they asked me some typical behavioral questions to see if I was really interested in the job. Then, they asked if I was okay with coming into the office for an in-person interview, which was nice of them. The in-person was with the manager from before, someone from senior management, the group leader, and another employee to talk about the company culture and work vibe. They asked a mix of behavioral stuff and some questions about systems engineering concepts. I got an offer not long after. The whole thing was pretty relaxed and gave me a good feel for the company.

Behavioral Technical
Got a call from the recruiter about a programming job where I'd build a specific tool for analysts. They said it'd be technical, but it ended up being mostly behavioral questions in both the phone chat and the in-person interview. You gotta be confident when you talk. The technical parts were super easy, not much prep needed because the tool is pretty basic.
