So I applied, and then got a call to chat. After that, I had a video interview with two managers, and then another video one with three different people. A week or two after the last one, they offered me a job that was pretty much the same as the one I applied for.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I had a phone interview. Then, after a really long gap of four months, I was invited for an in-person interview. This also involved an editing test and a camera test. I was asked to prepare questions for the hiring manager. The four-month wait between the initial call and the in-person meeting was quite excessive, though.

The interview process had about four steps in the process: two phone calls, a sample test, and an in-person interview. The ones I interviewed with took all necessary precautions to keep all of us safe during the pandemic. Incredibly polite and attentive, they followed up quickly after each step of the process.
