Received a response pretty quickly after applying and scheduled an interview a couple weeks from that time. The first interview is technical, and it is a straight hour of coding/coding concept questions in C++ and C. There was barely any talk of background or resume, and only a couple minutes to ask questions.
It didn't really feel like a natural conversation, and was more reading questions off a piece of paper, with no real opportunity for collaboration or working through a problem by explaining your thought process. Seemed like they wanted to get through all of the questions and that's about it.
After that interview, there is another 2 hour technical interview, which I didn't make it to. Overall, doesn't really seem worth it considering the barely "hybrid" work, salary, and type of job to go through that many technical interviews.

30 minute phone call, technical screening with questions around data structures and operators. Last half was resume screening. It was more of a genuine conversation about competency and skill and why you're interested with GA.
