The interview process was pretty good and everyone was really nice and helpful. It started with an HR call, followed by a manager interview, and then a panel interview. They have a very stable interview workflow, and you must follow the STAR method.

Behavioral Technical
I had a call with the hiring manager, and they asked me a bunch of questions. The questions were mostly business-focused. It felt like a stressful environment and that employees' voices aren't heard, like they're overworked and it's a high-pressure place to work.

Behavioral Technical
Started with a recruiter call, then had a telephonic interview with two people. After that, there was a take-home assignment. Finally, a recruiter asked 1-2 behavioral questions about my experience and fit. The telephone round included a mix of behavioral questions and one product sense question. I didn't move on to the next round.
