Behavioral Technical
It was remote, and I spoke with a manager and two developers from the team. They asked me about my experience and coursework, then some questions about OOP principles and basic DSA concepts. No live coding, just the fundamentals. They also asked how I've used specific frameworks and languages in my projects.
