The process was really transparent and clear from everyone I spoke with, which was great. I met the people I'd be working with closely during my initial interviews. I had 4 sessions with HR recruitment, the hiring manager, and 3 of my coworkers, 2 of whom are senior.

The whole process took months. I thought I was out of the running but then it turned out to be between me and one other person. HR lost my paperwork before the final interview. It felt very disorganized.

Had a quick call to screen me first, then met with a group of people for an interview, and also did a skills test. After that, a couple more phone interviews and then I got the offer. It all took way too long though.
