It was a simple phone interview process and it went pretty well. They mentioned I'd hear back the following week, but it took them a month to send an automated email saying I didn't get the job. If you say you're going to do something, you should do it. When conducting an interview, have the courage to tell candidates they didn't get the job; that's really the only tough part of your role. Providing closure is good for everyone involved.

Behavioral Presentation

We started with a video call, then moved to an in-person meeting with HR. They asked about my personality and professional challenges. They were really transparent about the department and the realities of the company. I got a tour of the site and facilities, and they went over the benefits package.

So the normal interview process was pretty standard. We started with introductions and just getting to know each other. They wanted to know why I was interested in the role. Then there were some behavioral questions. After that, I had a second interview, which was with the hiring manager. They were really positive, but it's a competitive field.
