The first contact was by text and email. They sent me a link to answer some interview questions through a 3rd party website. I did not do it. I strongly oppose this method of interviewing. An interview should be with a person as you are learning about the position just as they are learning about you.

Easy. Panel interviews. It can be lengthy and you might end up not hearing back from them but overall is a good process but it can be different for each department.
