The job ad asked for a resume and cover letter by a deadline. It was optional to send transcripts to show education if you didn't have enough years of experience. A couple weeks later, I got an email saying I was qualified and asking if I wanted to interview, with several date/time options. I got a Teams invite for my chosen time, which was that week, with video. The interview was only 30 mins and had 9 questions.

Took about 3 weeks after being on a referral list to be asked to interview. The interview was 45 minutes and had 8 questions. There was no second interview. I had to call to ask about the status, they don't seem to let you know if you don't get selected. They asked pretty general questions, looking for examples of specific projects, teamwork, and leadership.

I found the job online and applied. Someone from the company called me and we had a phone interview about a week later, which was about an hour long. Two people interviewed me and asked around 10 questions. The questions were pretty standard. I didn't prepare much, but they seemed to like my responses. A few days later, they told me I didn't get the first position I applied for, but they did offer me the same job but for less money. I took the offer.
