Interview
Fairly easy when I interviewed although it has probably changed now. The onboarding process is less clear. You have to pursue a lot of information on your own.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ProQuest (Boca Raton, FL)
Interview
It took 5 interviews with various people in person and over the phone.
When I met with 2 people to complete the 4th interview it was at restaurant where I couldn't eat because I didn't want to answer with a mouth full of food. (I would strongly suggest you do not go to a restaurant to interview).
