Case Behavioral Presentation
It was a really smooth and accommodating process, which fit my schedule well. I had four rounds in total, starting with a recruiter call and then three manager interviews. The process included a case study and was centered around people principles. I really enjoyed the experience.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Went through several interview rounds with different teams. Made it to the final round, then had to do another interview with someone else. Got rejected without much useful feedback. Glad I dodged a bullet though, as they later laid off many of the people I met during the process.

Behavioral
Started with a recruiter screen, then moved on to more rounds with the hiring team. I wanted to mention how ridiculous the compensation package is; 64-70k isn't livable in a high COL city like Boston. They even asked if I could relocate at my own expense, which is wild for that salary. Plus, it's 4 days in-person and seems like a very traditional corporate setup... so, yeah, not for me.
