I heard back about this job pretty fast, just a week after applying. The interview was a panel of 5 people, and they asked about 20 questions in total. The main interviewer was alright, but the rest of the panel didn't seem to know their stuff. One person was just doodling flowers the whole time instead of taking notes.
