So first I talked to the supervisor, then the dept manager. After that, I met the supervisor again and also got to meet the rest of their team. They said an onsite interview was an option but not required. The very last interview was when we talked about salary and benefits, and they got back to me with an offer a few days later.

Technical Behavioral
It was a 3 hour interview broken into multiple sections with 1-3 team members. Two of the people who interviewed me were very candid about having never interviewed before and the entire process was very confusing and informal. Overall I thought the interview went well and was a mix of informal conversation and technical questions, but I was ghosted and then declined 5 weeks later. HR really dropped the ball before after after this interview, and relevant questions I had about work expectations, evaluation methods, etc. were declined or dismissed. It was bizarre, and I had to repeatedly lead the interview process with two of the groups as they had not prepared to interview me.

Behavioral Technical
Had a phone interview. Then multi-department personnel interviews. Got a job offer within a week. They asked most typical questions. Difficult to recall specific questions because you interview with several people in your group. They're really looking for you to fill the role they need and fit with their culture. Very kind and professional, slightly laid back with a couple members.
