Online assessment, followed by a 1-hour technical interview about solving a coding problem, followed by a 1-hour technical deep dive plus a 1-hour object-oriented design exercise. All interviews went smoothly, except for the object-oriented design one, where the interviewer kept saying that "there's no right answer" despite clearly fishing for a specific, predetermined solution and rejecting anything outside of that.
