I applied and a week later was contacted by a recruiter. She sent me a competency test which I must have done well on because a few days later I was asked to complete a similar exam, though proctored this time. It is mostly logic and reasoning questions with some math. I then had 4 separate Skype interviews, slowly working my way up to the director. I was ultimately offered a position which I accepted. The whole process took about a month. At first I found the interview process cumbersome, but after working in this position for over a year, I truly appreciate the "weeding out" effect that is has. Many people who did not receive offers will criticize the difficulty of the tests and their perceived irrelevance, but the software you will ultimately have to master is highly complex. I appreciate knowing that every colleague I have to depend on went through the same process and I know they are competent.

After submitting the application, I was asked to complete the aptitude test. It was lengthy and some parts were difficult for me, and I didn't get to finish a couple sections. I was surprised when they followed up with me for an interview, so don't be discouraged by the test! I had 3 interviews total - one with a recruiter, one with a supervisor for the role, and one with a regional manager. Their questions mostly focused on my experience, and I think it helped that I asked a lot of questions to them.
