Very professional. HR set up a call with the hiring manager to validate if the job profile and candidate's experience matched. There were several one-on-one rounds with the team, ranging from Staff Engineer to Principal Engineer. A few interviewers focused on technical aspects, while others focused on managerial aspects.
