Behavioral Technical
HR reached out on LinkedIn and was super responsive, moving things along fast to an interview. About two weeks after that, HR emailed to say sorry for the delay in a decision, mentioning the company was swamped and they'd have an answer in a couple of days. But then... nothing. It really gave off a bad vibe about the company culture. The actual interview had two parts back-to-back with different people, but honestly, they asked almost the exact same questions in both. Made the second interview feel kinda awkward and weird. I got the sense this job isn't just about coordinating projects, but also involves some leadership.

Presentation Behavioral Other
The process kicked off with the HR manager asking if I had questions. I did, but wanted to hear about the role first. Then, I had to give a presentation on 'anything,' but they specifically asked to include finance/marketing tasks like calculating NPV, competitor costs, and value proposition. The call was supposed to be 30 minutes but ran for an hour. I only got 5 minutes for the presentation without slide sharing, and had to verbally describe slides, which was awkward. No chance for my questions as it ran 30 mins over. They said I was strong and fit what they needed, expecting to move forward, but needed to interview others first. They'd let me know next week. Hours later, I got an auto-rejection. My follow-up with the recruiter for details went unanswered.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design Presentation
I applied online and got a phone screen, then they brought me onsite. I had to take a day off for interviews, some were on Skype and some were in person. Looking back, I didn't need to take the day off or come in since most were on Skype anyway. The onsite involved 6 interviews, some were alright, others were really bad. They asked random questions covering security, encryption, and also behavioral stuff. Some interviewers were just plain rude. After the interviews, they said the hiring manager had left for the day and I'd need to do a Skype call later. I gave them my availability, and the recruiter set up a Skype call with the hiring manager a few days later. She kept in touch during that time. On the day of that interview, literally a minute before it was supposed to start, I got an email saying they didn't have a match for me right now. It would have been nice to get a more advanced heads-up.
