Process

I had two phone interviews and then was flown on-site for a full day of interviews, five in total. These were back-to-back with a different engineer in each. I had lunch with another developer in between.

I would recommend bringing earplugs in case the hotel you stay at isn't great.

Overall, the process was straightforward. The recruiters and interviewers were all very friendly and fair.
