Interview
Very numerous with many members involved per interview, but very streamlined in scheduling. Diverse panel from different specialties, but experienced members in their own field. Very open-minded in personality and all question are fair game. Straight-to-the-point expectations with applicant and career responsibilities.

Interview
HR first calls you to make an appointment for a pre-screen call, which happens approximately 7 days after. The pre-screening call lasted around 30 minutes and plenty of questions were asked. The next stage is a technical interview with the hiring manager, if I'm not mistaken, but unfortunately I haven't been invited for it.
