Behavioral Technical
Applied online and after a month, had an HR phone screen. A week later, spoke with the hiring manager. Then completed an online assessment for the analyst role. Two weeks after that, I had an onsite interview with seven department heads and managers. It's been two weeks since the onsite with no feedback yet. The process was really slow, and they need to be more organized with interview timing. I received a wrong itinerary initially with another applicant's name on it. They corrected it, but the lunch interview was a mess; the hiring manager was rude and I never got taken to lunch. The interviews ran from 10 AM to 2:30 PM, with seven 1-on-1s, each 30 minutes or more. Most managers were nice, but a few were arrogant.

Behavioral Technical
I thought the interview process was interesting. There were two people asking me questions on one end of the table. I felt a little nervous considering this was one of my first job interviews with a company of this size. The interviewers try to make the interview process easy by making you comfortable. They will then go into certain details of what you learned in your classes so that they can see what you grasped from them.
Confirmed questions1 question
- They ask you a standard set of questions to give each individual an equal chance at getting hired. There were a lot and I'm sure you can find these online. One specific question I remember them asking included what were some recent difficulties you came across and how did you overcome those difficulties.

Behavioral Group
We started with a dinner with the other candidates and the interviewers, which was pretty cool. They talked about their internship experiences and the interview process. Then I had a 45-minute one-on-one interview that was mostly behavioral questions. The interviewer was pretty chill and nice, and mostly stuck to the script before we chatted about school.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about your favorite college class and the reasons behind it?
