The hiring process had 2 steps. First, a phone chat with the hiring manager. Then, about 3 weeks later, I had in-house interviews. It was a morning of 3 interviews back-to-back, and then a quick chat with HR about the pay.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process here takes a really long time, as others have said. First, you do an initial interview using HireVue, which is weird because you record answers to automatic prompts. After submitting that, it's radio silence for about a month or more. Then, a recruiter finally gets in touch to set up a virtual interview with real people. This is a panel interview with 4 team members where they ask questions about your resume and experience, mostly behavioral stuff. After the interview, I didn't hear back for over a month.
