Behavioral Technical
This interview process was longer and more thorough than I expected. After seeing a posting, I reached out and spoke to someone who asked me some basic questions. Then Jim, a recruiter who seemed genuinely interested in me and my skills, called back. About a week later, Jim contacted me again to arrange a time to meet the team. That's when I realized why Jim was asking those questions – I was scheduled to interview with the department manager, a member of the team I'd be joining, the department VP, the CTO, and the VP of HR. During these 30-45 minute sessions, even the CIO briefly introduced himself with a smile. It was obvious these people are well-coordinated, organized, and take finding the right fit very seriously. I liked that.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The person who was supposed to interview me wasn't there when I arrived. I entered the office, and the door was unlocked, but there was no one at the reception. Two people from the break room had to get someone to interview me. The interviewer showed up in shorts and flip-flops, saying it was warm in the office. Before the interview, there was a test covering jQuery, SQL, and functions involving looping. The interview itself was fine. However, the company felt a bit unprofessional. The interviewer's explanation of what the company does and its business model was unclear. The office space seemed cramped with open cubicles, lacking privacy.
