The process started with several phone interviews, leading to an on-site day of interviews.
The interview day consisted of multiple face-to-face and video interviews, including a programming task. I interviewed with developers, architects, and managers, with some sessions being one-on-one and others two-on-one. There was plenty of time for breaks and food as needed.
The day was full but not grueling.
I was not asked any surprising or trick questions.
Developers asked development-oriented questions. Architects asked architecture questions. Managers asked management/social-interaction questions. I found fewer DevOps-type questions than I had expected.
