Hiring process takes a long time, which is standard for higher ed but not great to go through. I spoke to multiple people for interviews and for bureaucratic reasons and they went well enough. However, they seemed disorganized during the whole the process.
There are 4 rounds- the first is an HR phone call as a screener, then there are 3 meetings with team members of various seniority starting with the most junior to the most senior then the hiring manager. Questions are mostly behavior and situational based. Be prepared with examples of recent projects and the outcome of those projects.
