I went through one interview, which had some basic questions like asking me to introduce myself, how I found out about the company, and why I'm interested in the role. After that, I waited a day or two for a response.

I applied online. It took over a month to hear back and get called for an interview. Two people interviewed me for about an hour. They weirdly suggested I should've applied for a different job there. I thought the interview went great, but then heard nothing for weeks. After over a month, someone I didn't interview with called to say I didn't get the job, but they wanted me to reapply for an administrative role, which would mean starting the whole process over (cover letter, interview, etc.). I decided not to reapply.

My first interview was a 40 minute session with three people. They asked standard but detailed questions. The interviewers were nice and paid attention to details. A few days later I had another interview with one person. They asked much fewer questions and we had a more natural conversation. Overall, it was a good interview experience with the company.

I was contacted by HR, and the HR manager was very responsive and asked some basic questions. They were friendly and seemed supportive of the agency. However, the supervisor for the program I applied for didn't seem prepared. They showed little interest in what I said and seemed annoyed I was there.
