There were two rounds of panel interviews where I talked with different people from the org. The first interview was with the manager and two other people who do the same job I would be doing. The second interview was with the director and the manager. I got the offer a couple weeks after that.

So, the first step was this one-way interview thing, where I had to record myself answering some questions and upload it. After that, I had a panel interview virtually with some managers from the college and high school programs. Didn't hear back after that, so I guess that was it.

The interview process has three parts. Depending on the size of the interview group, you'll either be split up or go through everything together. They evaluate different aspects. A very important part is the mock-classroom, where you teach a given subject to the 'class' (other interviewees), which you were given beforehand to prepare. Then, there's a panel where you chat with current employees and ask them about working at the company. Lastly, there are 1-on-1s with the leadership team, where they ask position-specific questions. You'll likely have 2-3 of these one-on-one.
