I applied through an employee referral. Did 3 interviews over Teams with various team members and then was offered the job weeks later through email. The process was long and drawn out.

Interview
The interview process comprised four steps. First, there was a meeting with the manager. The second was a technical interview. The third and fourth steps were behavioural interviews, during which I met colleagues from different teams and areas to discuss how I would handle certain situations.
Everyone was generally very friendly and informal. During the technical interview, for example, they didn't try to put me under pressure.
Overall, it was a very positive experience.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about our interview process. We’re delighted to hear that you found the experience positive and that our team made you feel comfortable throughout. It’s great to know that the friendly and informal atmosphere, especially during the technical interview, helped you feel at ease.
I had one initial call with the recruiter, followed by a call with three people. None of them asked me any questions—it felt like I was the one leading the interview that day, which was a very odd experience. I did receive an offer afterward, but the pay was quite low, so I decided to decline.
