It took 15 days (from the day that I applied) to get the first interview set up with an IT support engineer I at a different location than I was applying for. The first interview lasted 30 minutes and consisted of several tech questions based on Linux, Networking and Windows. I was also asked two behavioral-type questions (Tell me a time when...) and I answered using the STAR method.
I am now waiting to schedule the final virtual interview, which can take up to 8 weeks to schedule according to the recruiter setting it up. I hope to do well and be given an offer. (I will update if I do or do not and which questions are asked).

They ask a lot of technical trivia questions that have nothing to do with the job. They like hearing stories about how you raised the bar and/or made your prior job better. Be familiar with the STAR method.
Panel interview with 4 people. One hour with each interviewer who will ask 2 to 4 questions based on leadership principles related to the job role you are applying for.
first starts with a phone screening.
then if they pass you on you would meet with three individuals for about an hour each. Some of them might be in the area you are applying others might just be a manager from a different ORG.
