Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was about average. It started with a recruiter call, then a technical screen, followed by an onsite interview, and finally an offer.

Went for an interview after the college career fair. First, I met the recruiters at their booth. Then I got a text saying they want to interview me and set up the interview.

So first I had a phone screen over teams, it lasted about 30 minutes. Then I went for a 4 hour visit where I interviewed. This included 30 mins with HR, 1 hour with the hiring manager, 1 hour with some engineers, then we had a 30 minute lunch, and I got a tour for an hour.
