The interview process has 2 main rounds. The first is a virtual HireVue assessment focusing on behavioral questions. The second is a 45-minute Teams interview with two interviewers, each asking various behavioral questions. My interview lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. There was also a Q&A session at the end to ask about the company and interviewers. Even though it went well, I didn't receive an offer.

Behavioral Technical
Had a phone interview for about 20 minutes. It was only a screening, no technical stuff, just HR questions. Then I went for an on-site interview. It was really relaxed and peaceful there. The on-site lasted over an hour. They mostly talked about the company, and I spoke very little. They asked open-ended questions like which subject in school you liked/disliked and why, why you are in the specific major, and a series of questions from my resume.

Technical
The first interview was with some automated software that recorded me answering pre-selected interview questions on video. The email instructions didn't mention my computer's camera and mic being used. After starting, I had to stop to set up my interview space and change, but luckily the link didn't expire. I finished the interview. It was strange because the video camera kept recording even when it wasn't "recording" the interview questions.
