We started with a recruiter phone call, then a hiring manager chat, and finished with a panel interview. The timeline wasn't rushed but also not super slow. For entry-level roles here, they really focus on soft skills and use STAR questions about your resume projects and past experiences. The hiring manager's main goal is to see if you'll fit with the team. This place is one of the few that actually trains new engineers.
