The HR person set up a 45-minute phone screening but ended up calling later than scheduled. They asked a bunch of questions about my past experiences and probed into why I left my previous job, even asking for my current manager's name.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was a long process with quite a few rounds, definitely more than 5. They didn't give any hints that they wouldn't hire anyone. It seemed like everyone was interested, but in the end, I didn't get the offer. So, it's a super competitive process.

Presentation Behavioral
Had a phone screen with HR first. Then I had an in-person interview that was about 3/4 of an hour long with like 8 people total. I didn't ask for breaks for food, water, or restrooms, and they didn't offer any. Every session was one on one and each interviewer had their own way of doing things. There wasn't really a set script or any formal interview questioning techniques used.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Have you ever presented to C-level executives before?
- Did you feel nervous during those presentations?
