I had 2 Zoom interviews. They were typical interviews and went well, but they ended up picking someone with more experience. I had to follow up to find out they had chosen another candidate.

It was a face-to-face, sit-down interview in an office with one interviewer. They had a list of questions on a notepad and we went through them, with my responses being marked. They contacted me with their decision after they made it.

Behavioral Technical
I applied for the role and heard back in less than 24 hours. They said my application was moving forward and wanted to schedule an interview. After I passed the employment assessment, I had a video interview with two people a week after the initial email. Then, about a month after that, I went in for a 3-hour technical interview. This involved answering some experience and behavioral questions to a panel of four people, followed by a 2-hour technical assessment.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Are you more of an independent worker or do you prefer to collaborate with others?
