I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
Talked to a recruiter. Then I talked with a scrum master from one of their teams. I feel sorry for those scrum teams. I've never met someone who is so out of touch with technology that leads a team. And I've met a few. They told me they wanted someone with more experience with API testing. But I have over 5 years of experience, it doesn't take that long to understand APIs. They told me that they rushed the product to the market and are now trying to fix their whole architecture. The devs do their own testing and there's one QA person across 4 teams. I'd be surprised if this place is still around in 4 years. At least they told me right there, which is nice.
We talked about their stack and experience.
