There was one video interview round that lasted for an hour. It was a group setting with 7 people interviewing. They asked some really basic testing questions, nothing involving coding. Everyone I interviewed with was from the same team, and the whole process felt pretty relaxed and friendly.

Behavioral Technical

I applied in December 2019 and then had my interview in February 2020. I got an email to set up a time to interview. I talked with three board members over Skype. The interview had a really strict format. It felt like they weren't trying to get to know me, but more like they wanted to see what I knew.
