Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was pretty organized and efficient, although responses took a while to come back. I talked with a few team members who went over different parts of my resume.

Started with a recruiter screen, then had a technical interview with the Hiring manager. After that, there were 5 interviews on the same day with the technical team. They let me know if they would be making an offer within a week or two after the interviews.

It was a nice and friendly three-stage interview process. First, an HR chat, then a chat with the Manager, and finally, an on-site interview with the Manager and the Head of Department. They took the time to get to know me, explain the product, and describe their expectations.
