Case Coding Technical Behavioral
It was a long process. There was a tech round, then a timed data challenge on Hackerrank, followed by a culture fit round, and then the final virtual onsite. The interviewers were really nice. Getting feedback took a while, which made it feel like I interviewed with them for ages. The interviews themselves were easy to medium difficulty. The data challenge was also easy as long as you got the question, but if you got stuck on an error, two hours might not be enough.

Behavioral Coding
It started with a recruiter screen, then I talked to the hiring manager. After that, there was a technical screen, and then a 5 or 6 hour "loop style" interview. Most of the interviews in the loop were like Amazon's "tell me about a time when..." questions, and there were a few easy coding questions. After about 9 hours of interviewing, I was ghosted. Not a good experience.
