Super intense, I just had one, they asked behavioral questions but expect you answer them with their leadership principles. Also the behavioral questions are not straight forward like tell me a time you did something, but super complex like tell me a time you did something and you tried one way but then give up midway but after going other direction and decided to come back to first way, something like that. Then you answer, and they find a small thing you said in your answer to dig another 2-3 questions out of it. The interview went on like that for like an hour...I got like 15 or so questions, at some point, I feel that I am going to just give up cause the pressure, and I felt absolutely horrible and frustrated after this, and feeling I may not be a good fit. Somehow, I passed the interview. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ I feel that they asked hard questions on purpose and didn’t expect perfect answers but see how you handle the pressure? I don’t know. I did research online and apparently they had top25 hardest interviews and second poorest interview experience....

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad.

Any documents? Much appreciated.
