They did a phone interview, then an in-person panel interview with about four people. They ask a lot of questions about what's on your resume and also behavioral questions like “How do you do under pressure?” and “How would you handle a situation with a coworker?”. Mostly, it was an in-depth look at your resume and experience in certain situations. If your resume is wrong, they'll dive into it.

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone call and after passing that, I went to the office for an in-person interview, so there were two rounds in total. They didn't ask typical questions like what's your weakness or strength during the in-person interview. Instead, they focused more on my previous research projects or what I would do in certain scenarios.
