Pretty typical interview experience, in line with most other Glassdoor reviews.

Started with an HR screening. Nice recruiter, but not much substance in the call other than high-level questioning from a checklist. Communication was quick and courteous, with updates every step of the way.

The second round was with the hiring manager. We talked about my background and experience, and they asked some basic behavioral questions. Nothing too technical, but they did ask about very specific experience they wanted to match.

I was denied for the next round, but the process would have included multiple interviews with the hiring manager's boss, the team, and cross-functional departments. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses from a professional and personal standpoint.
