Behavioral Technical Presentation
I talked with a director at a career fair. It was a very direct and informative chat, and the recruiter quickly saw my interest. After that, I had a behavioral interview with HR where they asked pretty standard questions. The last interview was with the Head of the office I wanted to work in. They were very nice, and it felt more like a casual conversation than a formal interview. We discussed my experience, the technologies I'm best with, how I'd approach future scenarios, and some things from my resume.

Technical Coding Behavioral
I went to the university's job fair and talked to a recruiter. After about 2 weeks, I got a call back for the first interview, which was on the phone. They asked technical questions about OOP, basic programming, and databases (optional). The questions were a mix of easy, medium, and hard. After that, the second interview was in person.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The whole process was around 30-40 minutes. It had three parts. First, they asked about my general background, like projects I've worked on. Then, there were some basic programming questions, like asking what a tree or a binary tree is. Finally, they asked algorithm questions. They asked a lot of abstract questions, and I didn't actually have to program anything.
