I was sent a Microsoft Teams meeting invite. Even though I had some technical issues at first, they were really nice about it. The interview itself was pretty standard and not too difficult. I got an update from them about a week later.

I interviewed with two engineering managers. One of them explained the role and company background. We had a really nice conversation. After the interview, I got a tour of the workspace and was told to wait to hear from HR. HR then sent me an assessment, and that was the end of the process. They ended up focusing on hiring experienced associates instead of new graduates, so I didn't get the position.

I had an initial chat with HR. It seemed to go okay, and I was expecting to move on to a second interview with the technical folks, but it turns out they had already picked someone before I even got a chance to talk to the managers.
