I submitted my resume through a current employee referral and had a phone interview the same day. After that, I was invited for an in-person interview. Right after the first in-person, they asked me back for a second interview. Then, because a panel member couldn't make it, I had a second phone interview. Before I finished the second in-person interview, they had already called all my references, including my current employer. I finished the second in-person interview, and after I followed up, I was told I didn't get the job.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The whole interview process took about two weeks. The first interview was about 45 minutes and was a Q&A session where they asked a set list of questions to see how I answered. They also wanted to know how my background fit with the job description. The second interview was a practical exercise that lasted almost 3 hours. I was given a task and had to create a presentation. I had an hour and 15 minutes to work on the project, then an hour to present it to the panel.
