Interview
First step was a personality test (Pymetrics).
Then a Hackerrank coding test. After the coding test, you meet with an engineer and talk about your code. The recruiters held a meeting to answer questions about how to do well on the next interviews, the behavioral questions. Two more 1 hour interviews asking behavioral questions. Then a decision on the offer within 2 weeks.

Interview
Virtual interview process. Everything was super easy and the interviewer was very friendly and thorough; She gave me tons of information but in a very absorbable and understandable way. The interview lasted about 40 mins which was what she had told me on the phone when setting everything up. She made sure I had answers to any and all questions that I might have had about the position or the company.

Interview
Contacted pretty soon after my application. HR was pretty positive but then started to ask specifically the questions not related to a position (or at least not related to a position I was applying to). Like years of development experience while I was focused on PO duties and SAFe knowledge. Development experience was not listed on the role at all despite I have it...
Then they send me an invitation for a "Technical interview" without any description and without any names of the persons who are invited (my name was put with a typo). The "Technical" interview was in fact behavioral with a couple of short case questions.
Behavioral questions were pretty common - tell me about one of your mistakes etc. Case questions seemed simple but it was obvious that the interviewer was expecting some particular answers.
I never got any response from HR - only an auto-decline message.
