It started with an online phone interview, they were really flexible about scheduling. The interviewer was nice and easy to talk to. It lasted about 20 minutes. If you get through that, there's a second phone interview. Then, there's 5 weeks of in-person training.

Had one phone screening, then a video call, and finally an in-person interview. They rescheduled and changed times a bunch during the process. The panel interview was a bit disorganized, like they couldn't agree on things. Overall, the questions were pretty straightforward and they gave good feedback. But then they totally ghosted me after everything.
