I first had an initial call with HR that lasted about an hour. After that, I talked with the person I'd be supporting, which was a casual 20-minute chat. Then, I was told I'd be set up for a panel interview, but I didn't hear back for about two weeks. During that time, someone else who applied got an offer. The HR person did set up another casual chat with the department head, and they said they'd keep my info on file. It was a good experience overall, even though I didn't get the job.

Had a 15 minute phone screen, then a 2 hour interview with the team over Microsoft teams. Got ghosted after the final interview, never heard back even after following up.

It was an in person and phone screen interview. Four people in total were involved, including the hiring manager and three associates from Human Resources. The entire process took two days and felt more like a conversation than the usual question and answer format of most interviews.
