Started with an at home exercise that was rooted in the actual work the company does rather than code kata type problems. The exercise was critically reviewed on organization, testing, and documentation in addition to solving the actual problem. It also included a debugging component.
The hiring manager was extremely personable. So much so that he's the entire reason I took that job over other offers.
The interviews were broken into small groups, each focused on particular skills. After starting I found out that they actually had a training series to teach people interview skills before they actually ran interviews.
One interview was a coding based and was a consistent series of problems that were real world and built on each other that demonstrate coding skills. One was a design interview that was explicitly meant to highlight high level thinking. One was a culture fit interview broken down into a series is conversational questions.
The recruiter was provided with enough info to give the expectations in how they wanted answers structured as well.
