If that goes well, you'll have a 45-minute Zoom call with the hiring manager and operations manager. This part gets into more detail about your experience, skills, and how you'd tackle problems that come up. Expect a mix of questions about your behavior and specific job tasks.

Presentation Behavioral Technical
For this type of role, the interview process is pretty standard: a presentation followed by a panel interview with HR and three other interviewers. They use a structured approach with situational and behavioral questions. Although they were 10 minutes late to start, they had to end exactly on time. I felt rushed on the last few questions, and their answers to my questions were very brief because they had to leave.
