The interview process was pretty fair. I had two rounds. First, I spoke with the hiring manager, and then I met with the person who would be my supervisor. I heard back about a week or two later.

There were two interviews. The first one was with the hiring manager, and it was very basic, cookie-cutter interview questions. The second interview was with my direct supervisor. The questions were more technical and tailored to the role. It also seemed like personality fit was being more assessed in the second interview.
