The interview process was pretty straightforward and I don't have any complaints about it. However, there might have been a couple too many rounds, and they were all in person. The people I met were nice and the questions weren't too tough. It did take them quite some time to respond, and unfortunately, it wasn't a positive outcome. I suspect my English proficiency might have been a factor.

I had a phone screen, then two in-person interviews. The first was with my future boss and someone who used to do the job. The second was with my future boss and his boss. They wanted someone qualified and experienced, but it wasn't scary. Everyone made eye contact, reacted to what I said, and asked good follow-ups. They checked my references after the second interview and offered me the job the same day.
