It was an in-person interview, but some people were online and others were in the room. Everyone was welcoming and approachable. The main thing I took away is that I never got any feedback at any time.

So the hiring process started with this really long application, like 3000 words answering questions, and each one had a minimum word count. It was basically asking for examples of how you met every single attribute they wanted for the role. Honestly, it felt more like a bureaucratic HR task than a way to find good people.
