The interview process was pretty simple. First, I had a Zoom interview with a group of people where they asked typical background questions. It was short, about 10-15 minutes. Then, I was invited for a second interview on campus. This one was more casual, over coffee. They let me know that internal candidates looking for a promotion were prioritized, and there were already a couple of internal people interested.
