First there was a phone call to screen me, then a video interview with 4 people from the team. After that, I had to do a case study presentation and a follow-up interview. Then came a long in-person interview, lasting about 5 hours with around 7 people. They also had me take a personality test and then reviewed the results. Finally, they made an offer and there was a lot of negotiation.
