To start with, there were three phone interviews, After that there were two rounds of panel interviews. HR was very responsive. They asked about certs but I clearly have them so I'm not sure why they would even ask. I think their HR was the most impressive group in the company. I don't think their PMO actually knows how to run things which was a huge red flag for me.
