Suprise e-mail asking for a phone interview. Application had been made 2 months previously.
Phone interview was friendly, with specific questions and senerios.
Waiting for second phone interview, and in person interview. In person interview will be both 1:1 and group.
Interview process is challenging but expected as everything you need to know is available online. They will schedule you with 4 employees from the team or organization you will work with and 1 completely separated from your organization as a "bar raiser". No need to work to impress one specific person, know 12-14 differentiated STAR formatted stories by memory.
