Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process was thorough, but quick (this was a positive!) I immediately felt a connection with the folks I interviewed with, and even though there were some hard questions, it was thoughtful, warm, and fairly casual.
The entire process was well organized and great support! Contacted via email. Went through a phone screen and had an in-person interview; some were panel type interviews and some 1:1.
I interviewed with their team, and it involved several interviews over a few days, where I met five people in total via video calls. Prior to that, there were HR screenings and communication with their internal recruiters.
