I was reached out to by the internal recruiter on LinkedIn and had a screening call with them the same day. Then I had an in person interview with someone from the team about a week later. The next step was a second in person interview with the manager, which was about two weeks after the first in person one. After those, I had a phone interview with one of the department's admins. They were all really good at communicating the whole process. It took about a month and a half from the first time we connected until I got the decision.
