I liked how the interview questions were standardized and helpful. The panel interviews were great, better than one-on-one, and it was nice that my potential peers were interviewing me instead of just my manager. I know different teams do things differently, but I really enjoyed this interview experience.

I got referred by someone at the company and they set up a panel interview for me. It was weird because half the people who were supposed to be there didn't show up. The ones who did were just asking really basic questions about my past experience. They were looking for specific experience in a certain area, and it was pretty clear from my resume I hadn't done that before. Felt like a waste of time for everyone. They sent the usual 'we'll be in touch' email, but no offer came.

I applied online and about a month later, the hiring manager gave me a call for a phone screen. A week after that, I went in for an in-person interview with the hiring manager and another manager. Then, I had a panel interview with three potential coworkers. About a month after that, they contacted me for my references, and a couple of weeks later, I got the offer. The phone screen and in-person interview were pretty straightforward, and the panel interview wasn't too bad either.
