The interview process began with a pre-recorded video interview which was more of a 'getting to know you' stage with general questions.

I went through a single prerecorded interview. However, while I was recording my part, my application status was changed to 'no longer under consideration.' It seems they didn't even review the recordings since I hadn't finished them, which was disappointing given how prestigious the company is.
