First round was an online assessment that included recording verbal answers, selecting answers based on situations presented, and listening to situations and providing a response (similar to on-the-job issues that would come up during work). The second round was a phone screen from the team hiring.

Interview
Strong toxic vibe from final interview, that matches their famously toxic culture. Had 5 one-hour interview back to back in one day. What really threw me off was 1. One interviewer hostilely attacked me and asked me 20+ unrelated questions in 30 minutes and refused to provide any key information when I asked. (Note the rule is they should ask 2-3 questions about Leadership Principle only). She negatively shut down any legitimate solution I brought up and did not understand my answers. 2. One interviewer had a shadower, so he went completely off the camera and didn't show up the entire time. 3. HR was very mechanical and fake.
