3 hours (1 hour per interviewer, 3 interviewers with a 5-minute in between in total). Each interviewer asked one introductory question, one technical question, and one behavioural question. A lot on customer service skills and networking rather than demanding technical knowledge, as they were very brief regarding this aspect of the interview.
