I went through three phone interviews. I talked with the hiring manager, two managing directors, and a partner. The interview was very behavioral and conversational, with no technical questions. Everyone was very nice, and overall, I had great conversations.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process began with a phone screen by HR. After that, there were two more interviews conducted by a Senior Manager and a Managing Director. The whole process and the questions asked were pretty straightforward and easy.

Behavioral

I did speak with a recruiter initially, but the typical process involves one screening call with HR and then two 30-minute interviews with management, making it two rounds in total and a pretty simple process overall. Everything was very conversational and relaxed.
