Hour long interview with two people that currently work there. Behavioral style questions. Getting the interview set up was kind of difficult because the recruiter would email very early in the morning asking to interview in like two hours.
The interview process was typical: the first round was with HR, followed by a second interview with team members. It focused on behavioral questions and assessing fit for the role.
