The interview process was just one single interview. It was very straightforward; you either got the job or didn't on the spot. I liked the job itself, it was really easy, but the pay was quite low compared to what other companies offer for the same role.

It was okay. Pretty standard interview. They do a drug test, but you'll be fine if you don't do drugs. They're kind of picky about piercings though, so maybe look somewhere else if you have them.
