It was a relatively easy interview with a primary focus on soft skills, secondary focus on project management skills, and tertiary focus on technical skills. It lasted for about half an hour, where I was interviewed by the hiring manager and a senior member of his team.
All stages of the interview were done over the phone. In total I spoke with five different people. Fairly conversational but still asked challenging questions. There was a bit of a wait between my last interview and the offer - but that is to be expected.
