I had one interview, and they didn't ask many questions. I felt like I did pretty good on it, but I think they expected me to ask more questions. They mentioned five times that this isn't a traditional interview and that I could ask whatever I wanted.

Applied and heard back for a phone screen about a week after applying, which was pretty fast. After the phone screen, I got a couple of emails asking for preinterview stuff like transcripts and other forms. Then, there were three interviews back-to-back, each 45 minutes long, sometimes with one interviewer, sometimes with more.

The interview process took about 4 hours and involved meeting with multiple teams. It would have been better if there was a phone interview first to get a sense of the role. I felt good about the interviews but didn't get an offer in the end. It took HR more than 3 months to let me know they wouldn't be hiring me.
