They will require you to put together a 30 minute presentation about a technical project you've run followed by an hour long traditional interview. This took me by surprise but was actually a good opportunity to sell myself before the questions started. I think this was mostly to test your presentation skills.

Technical Presentation Behavioral
I applied online and got a phone screening. Then, I was invited for an on-site interview. The on-site included a '25 minute' seminar that ended up being an hour long with audience questions, and I couldn't get through all my slides. The questioning was intense, like a thesis defense. I met with 4 different groups for 45 minutes each. There was also a lunch break with some newer employees. After this, I received a call about an upcoming offer, which I accepted.
