Had a virtual interview with a list of questions that a committee would look at. Basic questions, like weakness, strength, or past work situations. Overall, it was a good experience, but I didn't get the offer.

I had three interviewers who went through a list of about 20 questions. Many of them were abstract. They mostly just looked down at their papers and wrote down my answers. The person asking the questions seemed really brusk and like they didn't want to be there.

I put in my application online. About two weeks later, a recruiter called me to set up a phone interview that happened in a few days. After that, maybe a week or two went by, and I called them. They told me they wanted me to come in for an in-person interview. I got there early for the interview and got to chat with lots of the staff. Everyone was really nice and said hello. During the interview, they asked me a lot of the same things they did on the phone. I didn't get picked in the end, but I really liked the vibe there.
