Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was quite long but it was structured and took place over several stages. I even started to think they had forgotten about my application, so I wouldn't recommend leaving your application too late. Getting a Proof of Concept can be quite difficult. Make sure to learn their acronyms because they use them a lot.

Behavioral
I had an interview with 2 project managers, they were really nice and made me feel comfortable. They asked me to introduce myself and then asked 3 questions that focused on behavioral and leadership aspects, like how to change and improve things. They seemed to care more about how I answered and how confident I was. The background checks took forever to complete.
