I had several virtual interviews spread out over about a month with different people, and then I had in-person interviews with a bunch of people, even some C-suite folks. They asked a lot of questions that involved circular logic and hypothetical situations.

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone interview where they asked about my skills and the job. Then I was invited for an in-person interview. I met with a partner and we talked about general interview questions, with not much technical talk. After that, I had an interview with a lead tech. They asked me about basic troubleshooting, network fundamentals, and how to remove viruses from a computer. It was all pretty basic stuff. I wasn't impressed with their office space, and they mentioned they're planning to move eventually.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- Can you describe your skills and the job?
- Tell me about yourself and your experience.
- How would you approach basic troubleshooting scenarios?
