So basically, there were 3 rounds total. First, a phone interview. Then, I had 2 rounds of in-person interviews. The last one was a final interview where I met with some of the team I'd be working with, just to make sure everyone felt good about working together.

Behavioral Presentation
I had a recruiter call, then a 1st interview with the VP of Visuals. The 2nd interview was with the head of the desk. Both people were nice and asked questions that weren't too hard. I liked talking to them, but waiting a month for the answer was stressful.

The interviews went well, both with HR and the head of the division I was applying to. I got the offer at the end of the interview with the division head.
