It was a quick process; they got back to me about a day after I applied. I had phone interviews, an in-person interview, and then another phone call. I met with the team, but not HR before the offer.

Submitted my resume and cover letter, then had to wait over a month for a response. They sent a long, company-specific questionnaire to complete before the in-person interview. The first interview was with HR over the phone, followed by an invitation to meet with two department managers. The interviewers seemed really rushed, constantly checking their phones during the interview, which made it unproductive and felt like my interview was an inconvenience to them.
