First round of interviewers seemed uninterested and unenthusiastic, but second round of interviewers showed genuine interest in what I had to say.

Interview was a few months ago so it could have changed but it was fairly simple. Submitted an online application and then was interviewed by two team members online for about 30 minutes. I was then scheduled to do a longer panel interview but I dropped out as I was offered another job.
