Started with HR, had a standard interview covering my resume, experience, and references, and then background checks. After that, I spoke with the hiring manager. There was a panel interview with the lead team members. I also got a tour of the department and had lunch with a peer. Finally, there were follow-up calls with the HR manager.

It was pretty easy and everyone was friendly. Each person took about 30 minutes, and it was over Zoom. The whole thing took about a month from when I applied. It was all behavioral questions, no clinical stuff. Make sure you have some questions to ask them too.
