I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin
Interview
The interviewer showed up 15 minutes late to the 30 minute phone interview. They spent about half the call explaining why the job description was confusing/misleading. They barely asked any questions and seemed to be looking at my resume for the first time during the call. I think the person I was talking to was an engineer and was probably overloaded with actual work.

Interview
I had two rounds of interviews before the last panel interview which was 3 hours long. First meeting was with a recruiter and was behavioral, then an interview with same recruiter with some slight behavioral question but mostly behavioral again, last 3 back to back interview for a panel interview.
One technical interview, one technical presentation and 4 interviews with people who watched the presentation. Asked a variety of technical or situational based and soft skills questions. Interviewers were very knowledgeable and asked lots of follow up questions based off my presentation.
