I had a super day online. They also host in-person superdays though. I thought I did really bad but I did get an offer pretty soon after. It was 3 interviews: 1 with HR, and two with the area.

After a resume screen, candidates are invited to a super day, which can be done on Zoom or in person. I opted for the in-person option for the experience. The super day included three interviews, with two interviewers in each. It took about 2-3 weeks to receive an offer. They only hire one person per sector.
