I received some email questions, and then the team phoned me back to schedule two video call interviews.
The video call interviews included several types of questions:
- Behavioral questions

Pros: Tech and non-tech employees tend to be deep subject matter experts and collaborative.

It retains many of the good things from Google's culture with some tweaks from consumer-hardware and modern-automotive cultures.
