I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New Relic (Portland, OR) in Apr 2020
Interview
Referred by an employee, so my first contact was with the hiring manager. I can't remember if it was 30 or 60 minutes, but it was your typical phone screen. Then, I spoke with a recruiter for about 30 minutes. I especially appreciated that the recruiter was up front with the compensation for the position -- no "what salary do you expect" -- just "here's what we would pay you, is that ok?" Then, I had a full day of virtual interviews with various people -- sometimes 2 on 1, sometimes 1 on 1. The last step was a final interview with the people who would report to me.
The background check was a bit wonky. They wanted the name, title, and email address of a person they could talk to in my previous companies going 10 years back. All three of my previous employers use automated systems and there was no way to enter that in the form I was given. That caused me some amount of angst, but they got the background check done.

A fairly standard multi-round talking interview process. No deeply technical interviews for this management role, but lots of discussion about how to approach common management problems. I spent time with engineers, product folks, peer managers, and peers of the hiring manager.
