I received a phone call asking to set up the times for a series of four interviews. Each interview was with a different member of the team.
Although there were some cancellations, they were very professional and flexible in finding an accommodating time for me, despite the time zone differences. Each interviewer was friendly and relaxed, like having a general "get to know you" conversation.
However, I felt they were not professional interviewers. Some of the questions seemed ill-formed, such as "What would you do if you are working with a factory remotely and you can't solve a problem they are having?" It was such an open-ended question, making it hard to figure out what they specifically wanted for an answer.
But it didn't seem to matter because they still liked me in the end. I didn't get an offer because they froze hiring shortly after, which was disappointing, but it was good interview experience to go through so many interviews.
Do you pay attention to detail, or are you more of a big picture person?
