Interview
HR contacted me through phone had a short interview with her, then had a phone screening which went very well. After 1 week had an interview in person. It took all day, 5 hours interview with 7 different people, each took 45 min interview. It was very exhausting, they basically wants someone who knows interface testing and can test their devices. Requirements were very confusing, asked few brain teasers, test cases, was handed few devices and asked how I will I test it. I felt like if they were more straight about what they need in their requirements it would have been better for me. We had a lunch interview with two QA people, it was a bit awkward answering questions while you are eating. They paid for it so its good

Interview
Began with a very inviting phone screener. Quick response to schedule a 30 minute MS Teams interview that consisted of a mix of background information and exercises like "how would you test a pencil". Quick response again to schedule a 3.5 hour in-person interview gauntlet where I met with 4 people that gave assessments which were centered around running tests, ranking the priority of bugs, and the software development cycle. Overall good experience, but I was a bit caught off guard by the number of assessments during the final in person interview. I expected at least a 30 minute tour sprinkled somewhere in a 3.5 hour visit.

There was an initial phone screen, team member interview, hiring manager interview. There might have been an on-site interview if I had been selected past that point. Mostly behavioral/resume questions and a puzzle/test plan question.
