There was a mechanical aptitude test (mostly gears and levers; you don’t need to know any math), a pre-recorded video interview, and a “personality” assessment that, in addition to normal personality and behavioral questions, also had a lot of pattern matching. If you that far, then HR sends everything to the hiring managers, who may or may not bring you in for an in-person interview.

Very odd, one hirevue and then they fly you out to chicago. The chicago process is smooth. One interview and roll play. Great time to practice skills and continue to get better.

Good practice for the job, multiple stages involving phone screening with HR, meeting with director, then mock presentation and interview with manager. Make sure to practice discovery questions for the mock presentations to help you understand client needs.
