so long ago I can't remember except that the interviewer was very personable and relaxed. There were not a lot of questions related to scenarios or 'what would you do" type questions back then

Interview
Interview process was lengthy. Once I had the initial interview with the hiring manager over the phone which was super conversational and easy, I was scheduled for a panel style interview via Zoom since I lived out of state. 4 weeks later I checked in with the hiring manager for an update since I had not heard back and it was at that point that she let me know that they offered the role to someone else.
