Interview
Very long process! After application I was emailed about the first interview after three weeks. The first interview was very basic, someone overseas asking the standard questions, gave me a salary range and went over my experience.
3 1/2 weeks later I get another email asking for a second interview with the hiring manager. That interview was more informal. They detailed the job and requirements, training period, the next steps and asked if I had any more questions. (I had quite a few) There was a lot of good feedback and candidness. I emailed them the next day to restate my interest.
Three weeks after that I got a call from the hiring manager, saying I should expect an offer soon. Three says later I got a call with the offer from HR and got the official letter two days later.

Interview
Cordial 1st round phone interview. Performed an identical interview for a similar position a year later and was asked the exact same questions. Recruiter was very polite, but took very long to get back to me on my status in the hiring process.
