I applied online and the next day, the hiring manager got my application from the recruiter. The day after that, the hiring manager sent me an invite for a HireVue interview. It's a one-way video interview where you get 3 questions. You get 1 minute to prep and then 3 minutes to record your answer. You can stop recording early if you're done.

Had an HR screening on the phone where they asked about my personal faith, then a hirevu video interview. After that, I had an interview with the manager about my skills and if I'd be a good cultural fit. Finally, there was a small panel interview with 3 potential colleagues and the manager.

Behavioral Presentation

It was an online video interview done asynchronously. I was given a prompt and had 1 minute to prep and 2 minutes to respond. No one was there in person, which felt strange talking to a screen. I couldn't re-record if I made a mistake.
