It took over a month. I did an HR screening, then met the hiring manager. Next, I had a technical exam, followed by a panel interview with 4 people. The team wanted to meet me during their holiday party, so I met with them and the hiring manager for a final interview and office tour. The recruiter called my references but I didn't get the job. I think others should be careful.

First, I spoke with HR for a screening, then I completed an Excel test. After that, I met with the hiring manager for an hour, followed by a final panel interview which consisted of three separate 30-minute interviews.

First up was a quick 15-min phone screen with HR. Mostly just went over my resume and job history, pretty standard stuff. Then, I had an in-person meeting with the hiring manager, about 30 minutes long. I explained my current job and how it lined up with what they're looking for. But, honestly, after about 10 minutes, it felt like they had a really specific idea of what they wanted and weren't really interested in hearing about other, even if relevant, experiences I had.
