Three people interviewed me: two Directors and one HR. I had to give a 10-15 minute presentation on a topic that was assigned to me earlier. After my presentation, they asked some questions and I answered them. Then, each interviewer took turns asking questions from a list of about 10 questions. They asked questions one by one after I responded. The questions covered my knowledge of the position, my experience, and asked for 2-3 live examples of situations I had created.

It was a panel interview with 3 people, and they asked structured questions. There was also a written assignment and a presentation. I got the assignment beforehand, and I had about 20 minutes to go over the interview questions before the structured interview process started.

Operations gives candidates a heads-up on what to expect. About 15 minutes before the in-person interview, you can review the questions they'll ask. I had a few days to get ready a presentation on any topic I wanted. The whole hiring process felt quick and decisive.
