Laurel, MDPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I ended up going through multiple rounds with several different people, and the whole thing stayed pretty relaxed and straightforward.

I talked with more than one interviewer, and each person approached it as a normal conversation rather than a high-pressure assessment.

A big theme was behavioral questions, and the follow-ups were frequent—when I gave an answer, they pushed deeper into details and context. Even though the overall tone felt easygoing, it was still thorough because the panel wanted to understand how I’d think and respond, not just the headline version of my experience.
