I had the first phone screen with the hiring manager who wasn't a designer, then another one with a design manager from a sister team. The "onsite" was a set of 5 1:1 interviews and a portfolio presentation. In one of the interviews there was a 35 min whiteboard challenge. Questions were all around the Leadership Principles.

Interview
Terrible and unnecessarily long. They also don't give you any indication of how you did in the interview. It felt clinical and robotic. The interviewers also seemed very stressed out as if they didn't enjoy working there.
the process took 1.5 hours, including 45 mins behavior interview and 45 mins portfolio review. the order is random so sometimes behavior interviews can go first or portfolio review. the interview was not super tricky as long as you could talk through your case studies
