I applied online through GAIN and had an interview over Zoom. I also reached out to my interviewer before the call. I don't remember the exact number of questions, but they were all standard competency questions for a finance role.

I first got in touch with the company in early January and was told HR would get back to me in two weeks. It took about two months for HR to contact me and set up the first phone interview, which was all about behavioural/fit questions. I didn't hear anything for another month and a half before they told me I was moving to the second round. My second interview was in early April, and they said I'd know within two weeks. I ended up not hearing anything back until the end of May. I never got any updates on my application status and was left wondering for over a month if I got the offer.

There were 3 steps in total. First, a mobile call from HR on a random weekday, about 15 minutes, just to confirm your basic skills, student status, major, and graduation year. Second, a call with team members where you walk through your portfolio, pet projects, and previous experience. This is more input from your side, and can be technical without live coding, just basic stuff. They also give you info about the team. Third, a call with your future supervisor, leads, and/or VPs from the team/department for a vibe-check.
