Process
I had a phone interview, followed by an on-site interview with multiple people.
A colleague of mine was working there and insisted I give it a try and see if I could join him. The HR contacted me and was friendly enough.
The interviews were mostly technical and not difficult.
Questions
Just usual technical questions. Nothing stands out.
