The process was pretty standard for an entry-level role. It started with an HR screen for about 15 minutes, followed by an initial technical interview with two people that lasted 45 minutes. Then, there was a final interview and tour that took around 4 hours, involving three different panels with a couple of engineers each. It all moved pretty fast, and even though the final interview was quite long, it felt quick because everyone was enthusiastic and had a lot to share. It was very conversational, not like the 'gotcha' questions you find at bigger places.

The first step was a recruiter call, which was not a good experience. The recruiter seemed to be having a bad day and was rushing through the conversation. They were not welcoming and didn't seem prepared to discuss the role or the company.

Got contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. Went through a phone screening, followed by a full day of on-site interviews. The interviews involved three separate sessions, each with two interviewers, and they held positions ranging from Team Leader to Program Manager and Director.

I submitted my application online, and about ten days later, they reached out via email for a phone screen. After that went well, I had a follow-up interview via Teams with two team members. We had a good discussion about my background, going over my experience and projects. Sadly, I didn't get selected to move forward, and I suspect it's because they were looking for someone with more senior-level experience.
