Process
The interview process began with a typical phone interview with HR, followed by a phone interview with a technical manager. Subsequently, I was flown out to the job site for a site tour and an in-person interview.
The in-person interview was significantly more technical, delving into details about my past experience and gauging the extent of my knowledge.
