So, the interview process usually has a few parts. First, I sent in my application and resume online. Then, they had me do an online video interview using something like HireVue. I had to record answers about my skills, experience, and how I fit with the company's values. If that went well, the next step was probably an in-person or virtual interview with HR or the hiring manager. This part was more about digging into my qualifications, the job, and what I'd bring to the team. If all went great, they'd give me a job offer with the details.

Behavioral

I liked that the interviewer was nice and made me feel welcome. But, sometimes it was hard to understand her because of a small language barrier. The most memorable thing was the difference in how we presented ourselves. I know remote jobs can have a casual dress code, but I was surprised by how informal the interviewer was for a formal video interview. I tried to look professional as a candidate, and I think it would have been better if she had made the same effort. First impressions are important in interviews. She looked like she had just finished a workout.

Technical Presentation System Design Coding Behavioral

I had a recruiter call, then a 1-hour tech call, and finally a 3-hour interview with the team. This last one had a presentation on my past work, system design, a coding test, and behavioral questions. The team members popped in and out, making it feel a bit chaotic and unfocused since no one person was leading. They could have sent the coding test beforehand so I could talk through my solution, which would've been more efficient. The team seemed nice but disorganized, and I suspect they're constrained by the larger company. I got an automated rejection email, which I found pretty disrespectful given the time I invested. I'd already accepted another job, so I won't be applying to Zimmer Biomet again.
