Pretty standard stuff. The usual technical and behavioural questions that you would expect to have in an interview. It was not anything crazy or out of the ordinary. Good luck to everyone.
I have applied through the website, got contacted a few days later, First call initial screening call with Human Resources, after that a call scheduled with a VP. Took a little bit more than 1 week in total.
