My process felt more substantial than many of the earlier easy screens I'd done. It combined technical and behavioral questions in a structured way.
It started with a Microsoft Teams session where I answered questions in front of a panel. Some prompts followed the STAR format, while the technical questions connected to my past work. The technical portion included theory along with practical explanations, so I had to talk through past projects without hand-waving.
The session lasted about an hour. The expectations were clear, but I still had to think rather than simply tell my story. The recruiter followed up afterward, and in my experience I received an offer the following week.
What stood out was the balance between engineering reasoning and communicating decisions through a structured narrative. Looking back, the hardest part wasn't the questions themselves. It was keeping the technical and behavioral threads coherent under panel pressure while staying calm.
Location: Baltimore, Bladen, NC. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: Got offer.
