Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process started with a 30-minute phone interview that was mostly behavioral, but ended with an easy data structures question. Then there was a coding challenge to check coding style and thought process. After that, there were 2 on-site rounds: one behavioral focusing on projects and interests, and one technical with a medium/hard coding practices question. It seems like there's a background check and an offer stage too.

Behavioral Technical
I got my name in with an employee referral. A few days later, a producer from Harmonix contacted me about the job. After a quick prescreening, I was invited to the next round of interviews, where I was skyped into an interview with a group of team members. We discussed my qualifications for the role and what the position entailed. Following that, I had one more phone interview with the producer before an offer was extended.

The interview process for Director was quite extensive, but I liked that they took the time to make sure they found the right person. It included 5 rounds in total, starting with a phone interview, followed by 4 in-person interviews. One of the rounds was a group interview where I met the whole team I would be managing.
