I had an interview with two people. They asked about my CV and the projects listed on it. The questions weren't super technical. They also asked how I keep my skills sharp. After that, they gave me time to ask questions. It wasn't too difficult.

Applied online and heard back about a month later. Had a quick 30 min chat that involved going over my resume and then some questions from the team. I actually applied to a bunch of jobs here and had multiple interviews. One of them included a technical question about reversing a singly linked list.
