So, about four people interviewed me, they took turns asking questions, and it was about an hour long. They were really nice, and it didn't feel intimidating at all. I didn't get an offer or any word back after the interview, though. But the work they do is super inspiring, so I'd totally recommend this company.

The interview process started with a recruiter phone screening. The next week, I had a panel interview with 3 team members. It felt like a typical interview, but they were very stoic and didn't react much to my answers, and the questions were repetitive. After the interview, the recruiter sent an application for references. It's been about a month with no response, even after a follow-up email, so I think I was ghosted.

So after you apply, you get an email from HR about a quick phone chat. The person interviewing me was super nice and asked basic stuff about me and what the job is. If you pass that, you go in for two interviews at the office. The first one is with the team you'd be on (your boss and coworkers will be there) and the second is with HR. They'll email you pretty soon after if you got the job.
