It was a phone call that lasted about 15 minutes. They asked me about my skills and education, and I gave really good, professional answers. I thought it went great, but then four days later, I got an automated email saying they weren't hiring me, with no explanation at all. I felt I did nothing wrong and answered everything perfectly according to expert advice.

Behavioral Technical Coding
First I got a message from the recruiter, who asked me some basic questions and my expected salary. Then I had an in-person interview with some of the individual contributors. After that, I interviewed with the manager and director. Next, I had a take-home assessment where I had to solve a data problem. It was more analytical than I expected for an ingest and warehousing Engineer role. Then, after 4 weeks of silence, they sent the offer, which was below my minimum salary requirement.
