Interview
One phone screen interview with the hiring manager. Then asked to be onsite with 1:1 with hiring manager, her manager, then two team members. Overall it felt great fit so as the offer came immediately following the interview.

applied through a referral and didn't hear back for at least a week. once communication channels started, process seemed to moved fairly quick. had phone screen and immediately moved to next stage - zoom call with two of their program managers. Zoom interview wasn't anything different from pre-COVID: 1. previous experience - how is it same or different 2. expectations - benchmarking, deadlines, current challenges 3. time to ask questions to sniff out fit
