Behavioral Technical

The interview process was straightforward but not very substantial. There could have been more detailed questions to really bring out my competencies, interests, aspirations, etc. Also, more elaboration on the team I would be joining and management style would have been beneficial. A peripheral interview leads to a peripheral work experience, which is what happened here.
