Process

I applied online.

Just did an OA and then the first round. First round was a 30 minute behavioral followed by a 30 minute technical I believe (could’ve been an hour each I don’t remember). OA was super easy, and the technical was a step up but not too bad. I think I just didn’t move forward because of how I answered the behavioral questions, but also my behavioral interviewer was incredibly unprofessional so I didn’t really care that I didn’t move forward.
