The process consisted of an initial video interview, lasting about 30 minutes, using a platform called Zoom. The sound quality was truly awful (mostly due to echo-y room and the mic being used) so it was hard to pretty hard to hear. Questions were pretty much exactly what other interviewers here have described, though more tailored to my experiences/responses. The second round consisted of two 30 minute interviews, a mix of speaking over video and in-person. Though the questions were mostly more of the same, I got a couple questions beyond that which felt a bit like "gotcha" questions, which seemed to expect me to have experience beyond what I'd stated, and definitely beyond that described in the job description. But maybe I just didn't know what they were getting at! Overall, it was a perfectly acceptable interview experience, if a bit more pointed and impersonal in the second round. However, I was mildly displeased with the way I was notified of my rejection. I was told it would take a week to hear back, so after not hearing back, I followed up with the person I spoke with. I got no response, but received an automatic notice of rejection a few days later. If I was just going to be rejected in this way, I'm not sure why it had to take so long.
