Behavioral Technical
I admit that I was a bit skeptical when I interviewed with the People Concern. I met with management and they eased my concerns and made me feel more positive. However, my final interview was with a woman on the grants team. She was horribly unprofessional, rude, and went on the attack for no reason. This soured my view of them as I had just come from a toxic environment and during that final interview I didn't bother trying further. If this is how someone on my team was going to be in the interview process, I didn't want to invest myself professionally in this place.

The interview process involved a zoom call followed by an in-person meeting at the location. It was conducted by two directors since there was no program manager. The interviews were relaxed and straightforward, with no unexpected elements. Overall, it was a good experience, with the first round on zoom and the second in person.
