Interview
Got a call from HR for a phone interview a few weeks after applying. Very casual conversation which caught me off guard; expected more competency-based questions. Felt more like being felt out as a person than an employee. Interviewer gave an opportunity to ask your own questions at the end.
I had one phone interview and two on-site interviews. There was nothing too complicated or unexpected, very behavioral based. Everyone was very nice, welcoming, and willing to answer any question I had.

Question 1
The most difficult question was to share an experience where I felt discouraged and how I got past it. The interview felt like it was more to gauge whether I'd fit into the culture.
