Technical Behavioral
So the job was for a senior technical client support engineer. The first part happened in Jan 2021, where I got sent like 70 questions covering sql, unix, networking, os, and general knowledge stuff. Had to finish it in an hour and email the answers in an excel sheet back to HR. Then in March 2021, I got a call back about the next stage. The hiring lead told me what they were looking for: basically how I'd solve issues on a 3-tier app, and they'd throw different scenarios and assumptions at me.

Behavioral
It was a really fast process. I first connected with them at a campus job fair, and they did background checks within two weeks and extended an offer the following week. They do check references! I really liked interviewing here and felt a good connection with the team. The managers' insights on how they build their team and help with career growth were particularly valuable. I'd definitely suggest a friend interview with them.

Technical Other
The interview process started with a pre-screening call with an HR manager, followed by two technical calls with support team members where we worked through a problem together over Skype. I then had a shorter-than-expected in-house interview, and was supposed to have one more interview, but I had to relocate and couldn't finish the process.
