Interview
Took the OA and didn't hear from the recruiter for 2 months then was told I was moving to the loop. My loop was 2 weeks later. First and third rounds were behavioral then technical, second was all behavioral. Ran out of time on the first technical portion and didn't do very well, thought I did pretty well on the second, did well on the technical for the third but badly on the behavioral.
