This involved multiple standard behavioral questions common to all OPG interviews. Then, there were 1-2 technical questions, selected by the manager based on their team/field. They stressed using the S.T.A.R. method for answers.

Behavioral
I had an interview with two engineers from the same department. One was a section manager and the other was a senior engineer. The interview lasted 45 minutes and they asked me 6 questions. We used Microsoft Teams for the video and audio. It seemed like the interview was scored, and if you didn't connect with the manager you interviewed with, other managers could still hire you based on your score.
