One phone interview ( 45 min) followed by a Webex interview (2.5 hours). I was given a scenario and asked to prepare a ppt presentation within 45 min. Following the presentation two line managers asked about 10 behavioural questions requiring real life examples. It took approximately three weeks in total to receive the offer.
