Behavioral Presentation
I had a recruiter call first, then a 30 min meeting with a manager. After that, I had another 30 min with a different manager. They then gave me a project to work on. I then met individually with two other leaders for 30 min each, making it 4 separate 1 on 1s. The final stage was a panel interview where I presented my project to those same four people. It seemed to go well, they said I did a good job and I answered a few questions, but then I never heard back. It's hard not to feel like they just used me for free work after a recruiter who was super attentive. I followed up a few times but got no response.

Behavioral
Applied for a job, recruiter scheduled a call but then said the role was closed and asked if I was interested in another role. They told me to look at the website and email if interested instead of discussing it. I then applied for a different posted job. The recruiter missed the scheduled call time. I emailed them, and we rescheduled for later that day due to technical issues on their end. About an hour before the rescheduled time, the recruiter called wanting to do the interview immediately. I went through with it, but the recruiter sounded robotic and unenthusiastic, which made me lose interest in the company.

Behavioral Technical Case
The first step was a chat with the recruiter, which was pretty straightforward, mostly asking about my past work. Then I had a second interview with the hiring manager. They dug into my technical abilities and my motivation for this specific role. After that, I was given an Excel test. It was tough, honestly, and didn't really match the salary and expectations that were initially discussed. Still, I finished it and sent it in. Got turned down pretty quickly after that, even though I felt I'd answered everything right!

Behavioral Technical
I sent in my application online and then got a call back from a recruiter. They gave me a basic phone screen where we mostly talked about the role and I answered some behavioral questions. After I passed that, I had another phone interview, this time with the hiring manager. The next step was an onsite interview that went for about 2 hours. The first hour involved three separate 20-minute interviews with different people who work in various roles. The second hour was a hands-on assessment where I had to use Excel. Everyone I met was really nice, which made the experience less stressful!
