Technical Behavioral

I had a phone screen and then four interviews, each about 30 minutes long. It wasn't enough time to get deep into anything, but they did ask some technical questions, though it felt more like showing off.

Behavioral Other

After applying online, I got an invite a few days later to set up an in person interview. I met with some engineers and HR. It wasn't super technical, mostly seemed like they wanted to check my interest and see if I'd fit in. They gave me a tour of a section of the facility, and everyone was really friendly. I got an offer via email a few days after that.
