Very short on the phone interview, felt rushed and treated like a chore. Felt like a check of the box for a recruiter rather than an individual being hired.
The interview process is good. Very structured. Everyone is very warm and nice. Make sure you have good political knowledge heading into it as they will ask what policies you are interested in.
Several rounds, kind of unclear about some expectations but overall flexible and not too demanding. Writing assessment was interesting and a good representation of the day-to-day. Option to go in person or not for final round.

Interview
The interivew process was pretty standard. It consisted of a screening call with HR, 30 minute virtual interview on basic work experience, a timed writing assessment, and in-person final interview. The final interview was four hours and with multiple people at different levels within the company.
