I didn't make it past the first stage, and it seemed like the interviewer wasn't sure what to ask about my resume. I explained my projects and experience clearly, but they seemed unsatisfied with my answer about one project, which I didn't understand since I explained what I did and the whole process.

Behavioral Technical Coding

Someone reached out to me around early August and I started the job in early October, so the whole process took about 2 months. First, there was a phone screening where they asked me to introduce myself and explain how I'd be a good fit for the role. Then, I had a technical question which involved creating an inheritance class, then making objects and adding data to them; it was pretty straightforward compared to what's typical in the industry. Finally, I had an in-person meeting with the team.

It was an online interview first, then it moved to in person. I talked to a group of supervisors, and then I talked to some co-workers. The supervisors were pretty chill, but the other people, the ones who actually do the work, they seemed super stressed.
