Interview
I was called in for an interview and had three 30min interviews. 2 with engineers from each department and one with the hiring manager. I was asked almost exclusivley behavioural questions. Most of them were pertaining to how I deal with difficult people and my process for troubleshooting problems and a bit about my background in maintenance/troubleshooting. I was called back a week later with an offer.
