In-person with hiring manager, then in-person with other technical writers as a group. During the interview, manager forgot to ask for writing samples but asked me later. I sent them through email.
Applied through ziprecruiter, got phone call from recruiter from Richmar Associates, which is a staffing company, then had onsite with manager 30mins. Easy conversation about the role, then got offer on same day.
Very easy. Asked simple and behavioral questions. Technical questions were not difficult.
It took half day. Had lunch with the group. Very nice team. Lab area is huge. People are very very very very busy.
