I got a telephone interview first and they asked me technical questions. Then I had an in person interview which was a mix of technical and personality.

Behavioral Technical

My first interview was with HR over the phone, they asked me some scripted questions from the hiring manager. After that, HR set up an interview with the hiring manager and had me fill out some paperwork for background checks. The hiring manager then set up an interview with the tech lead and other team members. This interview was over the phone, but I think it could have been in person. Finally, I had another face-to-face interview with the hiring manager to finalize things. HR handled the salary and benefits negotiation, not the hiring manager or the team.

I heard back about my application for a Systems Engineering role about six months after applying to see if I was still interested. I had a panel interview with three people where they asked me about my background and skills. I had to ask them if I could ask questions at the end.
