Applied online.
I had a short phone interview and they invited me to on-site interview.
I talked to 6 people there for 6 hours.
The questions are mostly about my background and experience. So you may need to prepare for that.
Some technical questions, but they were not very hard. They didn't push me to answer quickly.
