I applied in late November and was contacted by an internal recruiter a few days later to answer a short questionnaire (all of which was answered in my resume and cover letter if they decided to read it). * I did not fill out the employee reference section in the application but I did have a close connection at the same office that worked in a different team*. After a few weeks, an interview was scheduled for the first week of January over Microsoft Teams. The interview was very relaxed and straightforward. Three employees/PMs who were on the team interviewed me. They asked me pretty straightforward questions and the interview lasted around an hour. I heard back from my HR contact the following week that I would be receiving an offer.
