Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process involved an initial HR call to discuss my background, motivation, and availability. This was followed by a technical interview with the hiring manager, which covered SQL, my data analysis projects, and a brief case discussion. The entire process wrapped up in about two weeks from applying to getting the final decision. The interviewers were professional, and the vibe was friendly and conversational.
