So, the interview process had a few rounds with HR, the hiring manager, and some people I might work with. It took around 1 to 2 months to finish everything. They communicated pretty clearly through all the steps.

I submitted my application online and heard back from them the very next day via email for an interview. It was about a 20-minute call with the local People Manager, and they also told me about the rest of the process: a phone screen, then in-person interviews the following week, and the job was supposed to start two weeks after an offer was made.

I reached out to the organization for an informational interview, which was scheduled pretty quickly. It seemed like it was worth pursuing, so I submitted a resume and cover letter. The HR and hiring manager screened my resume and set up a phone screen interview. After the phone screen, there was a panel interview with current staff. After a few weeks, there was a final interview with the hiring manager. Soon after that, I was contacted with the offer.
