Good. Two separate group interviews which lasted about 20 minutes each. Tell a little about yourself and your background. Then they went over the position and expectations. Time for questions at the end.

I had my first interview on a zoom call with the lady I would report to which lasted about 30-45 minutes. I got called back for a second in person interview. This interview had two parts where I was asked a series of questions by the team. This interview was an hour and a half long.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at University of Maryland in Feb 2023
For a position in the Department of Computer Science. Did an initial group interview about a month after applying, followed two weeks later by a three hour writing test and interview. I was offered the position by the department chair where I then reminded them I was looking for remote work, which seems to have caught them off guard. I heard nothing for nearly three weeks despite follow-up emails and voicemails, until they told me they couldn't support remote, a frustrating amount of time to be left in the dark.
