First there's a phone screening, and if you pass, you'll have an in-person meeting with the hiring staff. They set up the meeting pretty early with a hiring pool, and you better be ready to be there for hours. After checking if you meet the minimum requirements, they eventually call you in for an interview with a group of people in the same room with different interviewers, and if you pass, you might get a provisional position on the spot.
