It was relaxed with two people asking question. The total interview was only about 20 to 30 mins we went over my resume and they asked me to tell me about myself

The interview process involved both phone and Google Hangouts (or Skype) sessions. The initial two interviews, one via phone and the other via webcam, were spread out over a couple of weeks. It took approximately two weeks to receive a response regarding an offer. The interviewers were very polite and patient.

Got an email about a month after applying to set up a phone screen. The phone screen itself was okay, nothing too tough. They said I'd hear about the next steps in about two weeks and I could email one of them with questions. A month went by and still nothing, so I emailed the person they suggested to see if the timeline had changed. No response. I emailed again a few weeks after that, and still nothing. I guess I didn't get selected since I didn't hear back. Then, about three months after the phone screen, I got a generic email saying they're actually not filling the position right now and that I should apply for other jobs there. Super disappointed as a candidate and a Quaker in this organization I used to admire.

It took them a long time to get back to me, about 4 months after I applied. Then they set up what they called an initial phone screening, but honestly, it felt more like a full first interview right out of the gate, which was a bit unexpected.
