Behavioral Presentation
The hiring manager was great and professional, but the other interviewers seemed unfriendly and uninterested from the beginning, which really threw me off. The questions asked were pretty basic.

The interview process was really smooth, and the Talent Acquisition Manager kept me updated and responded quickly. I finished the first two stages and had to ask about the next step after getting a standard rejection email. The second stage involved talking with the hiring managers, and they asked about past situations and my experiences.

Behavioral Presentation
So I had a phone interview first, then two in-person ones, and then a writing assignment which was also on site. The phone interview was just with HR. The first in-person interview had a group of 5 people from different departments like HR and Communications, and one person was on video. The interviews were pretty standard but nice. The third interview included a 30-minute chat with HR about salary and benefits. Right after that, they gave me a science text and asked me to write a press release about it. The writing part was easy, but it felt like a high school test, which I thought was weird for a professional place in DC. What was most weird though, was after the third interview, they told me I was one of two people left and asked for references, but they never actually checked them.
