Behavioral Technical
It was a three stage interview process, with the manager and high level engineers. There wasn't any technical quiz or white boarding, but they did ask a lot about previous technologies and experience with CI/CD pipelines. Overall it seemed like they were looking for a culture fit above all else.

Behavioral Technical Case
First, there was a phone interview where they talked about the job and my background. Then, I had a panel interview with four people who asked about my experience, how I work, and if I knew about some of their projects. Those first two parts were fine. After that, I got a case study. I had to solve an equation using data from an Excel file, but it had so much industry jargon and specific details that I couldn't finish it. They said I couldn't ask questions, so I was on my own. Even Googling didn't help because of their proprietary terms. Their job ad didn't match what they wanted, like needing a Computer Science degree.

Behavioral
Applied and got a call within a week for a phone interview. The in-person interview was scheduled for the next week and went great. I met the team and they were nice. The following week, my references were contacted with a questionnaire. I was expecting an offer, but instead got an automated rejection email with no explanation. It was disappointing given my expectations. It would be better to only contact references when an offer is imminent.
