Behavioral Presentation
After applying, I was contacted for an interview in under a week. The hiring process involved a video recorded interview using Hirevue. Initially, I had some trouble with the tech, as it wouldn't work on my laptops, only my phone and tablet. The interview had a 2-minute intro video, which could be redone unlimited times, followed by 5 mandatory questions. Each question had 3 retake options, and I had time to prepare answers before recording. I ended up taking most of the day to complete it instead of doing it all at once. A week later, I received a rejection.

The process was mostly straightforward, even though there were multiple steps. Recruiters were pretty chill and the whole thing moved fast. It was super competitive because tons of people were applying then. Just stay confident and keep going.
