applied via the website and recruiter got back to me within 3 days. First a telephone interview and a few days after that another interview with my potential manager.
The interview with the manager went well, but they decided to go for an internal candidate.
However, the manager I had the interview with, suggested me to another colleague of his and told her that I could be a potential match.
So I went in for another personal interview on location:
interview was with two people: the new potential manager and another manager from same department.
They were friendly, professional, yet very down to earth.

Interview
It was a really smooth process and the recruiter I spoke to was very nice and useful.
All other interviewers were nice and they kept me in the loop constantly. I didn't have 5 million interviews which is nice and they quite fast at giving me feedback.

Interview
I first applied the position via their website, within one week I received a email for phone interview invitation. The phone interview was about 30 minutes, but somehow they did not manage to call the candidate in a quiet room, hence the background noise was very loud.
