Got a response about 2 weeks after applying. Had a single 30-minute phone interview. They started by explaining the role, then spent 10 minutes discussing my resume, followed by 10 minutes of behavioral questions, and finally, I got to ask my questions. They took a few weeks to reply as they were still interviewing others.
