My interview was during the height of the COVID pandemic, so it was virtual. However, the same method is applied with in-person interviews. You are interviewed amongst a panel of employees consisting of HR, the hiring manager and one or two other members of the team.
It was two rounds after applying - approximately one hour for each. The first round was with an HR manager and the hiring manager. The second interview was with a Senior Director level person in charge of the overall team.
