I went through two interviews for this role. The first was online and went really well, so they invited me for a second in-person interview. I got an email about a week after the second interview, letting me know I didn't get the job, which was about a week after the in-person interview. Both interviewers were super nice and the questions felt pretty laid-back and conversational.

I had just one interview, and the questions were pretty standard, nothing too weird or tough. I talked with the two people who would be my supervisors. I exchanged emails with HR, but didn't have an interview with them. They were really nice, and I actually enjoyed the interview! The whole hiring process moved super fast. I heard back from my application in about a week, and it only took 10 days from that first email to getting an offer. Everyone I've interacted with has been really pleasant and friendly! I imagine the interview process might vary a bit depending on the specific department or imprint of the role.

The interview process went beyond my expectations thanks to the help of the HR Assistant. Carolyn Garcia, the HR Assistant was extremely professional, with such a kind ability of making me feel comfortable and at ease. Afterwards, I was given the opportunity to meet with the energetic team. It was one of the best interview experiences I've had, again thanks to Carolyn Garcia. Overall, I believe my interview was a successful one.
