Interview process was with a recruiter then on site for about 2.5 hours.
Very standard behavioral questions - nothing intended to trick or stump you. I interviewed with a team member and someone in HR. They were both kind and the company seemed to have a strong culture.

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez McMaster-Carr (Santa Fe Springs, CA) en juin 2023
Entretien
Reached out to a recruiter via LinkedIn. Very pleasant and scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview went well. A few days after I was invited to an onsite the following week. Very pleasant introduction, but shortly after time the first person I met for the interview had somewhat of an off-putting vibe, friendly, just short and only asked a few questions that were somewhat unrelated to my experience or the role. You'll take a "writing exercise" that is just responding to a customer's email. The second person I met with was great and was like we've known each other for 10-years.
I feel like they have a great recruiting team, but behind the scenes, it seems like I dodged a bullet with the actual management team who conducted the first interview. They followed the interview up with a generic rejection email the day after with no feedback. I disagree with their approach in the job function itself, so maybe it was not a right fit for me either. Overall not a positive or negative experience.
Whole timeline was around 2 weeks start to finish.
