So I applied and then they emailed me back to set up a call with the hiring manager. We had a pretty good chat covering general interview questions and some technical ones about my experience. I didn't feel like the job was the right fit for me and I guess the hiring manager picked up on that, because I never heard back.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was a pretty straightforward process. We had three interviews in total: first, a Skype call with the hiring manager, then a phone call with the HR specialist, and finally, an in-person interview with the panel. The questions they asked were directly related to the job description and were very timely and relevant.

I heard back from them about a week after applying. From the email to the actual meeting, the interviewer seemed like they just wanted to get the interview done. They seemed distracted and messy, asked a couple of questions, and then it was over in 10 minutes. I left feeling like they had already decided. Totally pointless.
