Applied and then got a call about a month later to schedule with two different teams. The interview was mostly behavioral with a bit of easy technical stuff. I got an offer within the next 3 business days.

Technical Behavioral
It was a brief technical interview followed by a behavioral one. The interview was an hour and a half long and conducted by a panel of three interviewers, one of whom was a very senior engineer. They were very friendly and easy-going until I inquired about where to find the company's employee handbook or any other resources detailing employee responsibilities, promotions, and other crucial information. It turned out they didn't have any such resource. They seemed quite bothered by this simple question and spent about 15 minutes explaining their workaround.

Technical Behavioral
So, for the first round, I was expecting some general, personal questions, but they caught me off guard by diving straight into technical questions. It was a bit surprising, but I guess that was the point. They wanted to see how I'd handle pressure and if I could adapt.
