I had a joint call with several team members. We didn't go over my qualifications again, and the questions were a mix of technical knowledge and hypothetical work scenarios. The whole thing took about an hour, with each team member getting some time to ask questions related to their own jobs.

I went through a few rounds with different attorneys at the office, around four rounds in total. It included a screener, a chat with the hiring attorney, a panel interview, and a final interview. It was a pretty standard interview process, and the number of interviews was about what I expected.

It was a simple process, with the usual standard questions required by NYS. I was pursuing another job offer before I heard back, so I didn't complete the process. The position has some specific responsibilities due to its remote location, such as navigating mountainous roads by paper map/gazetteer.
