Technical Behavioral
I had two laid-back Zoom interviews. The first one was an intro with the hiring manager. Then the second was with the same person and a senior dev. It felt pretty chill the whole time.

First, an HR person will Zoom you to ask some basic questions about your resume and to set up the time for the next interview. Then, there are three technical people you'll talk to. One of them will ask you about your work experience, another will ask you about Java, and the last one will ask you some SQL questions.

Behavioral Coding
The interview process was quite fast-paced, although it took a while to get feedback. I had an inexperienced interviewer for one of the rounds, which I think impacted my performance. However, the interviewers in both the behavioral and technical interviews were nice and understanding.
