Candidate-reported interview process

It was a 3-stage process, with behavioral questions and whys. They wanted to know why I was interested in the role, what transferable skills I had, what I knew about the company, and some personal information to gauge cultural fit.

There were 3 rounds. The first was a phone screen, the second was virtual, and the last was on site. The first two interviews were pretty quick, but the final one on site lasted a few hours, like half a day.

First, there was a phone screen with the recruiter. Then, I had an onsite meeting with the local director to check my fit for the role. After that, a panel interview with the team focused on behavioral questions. Finally, I did a half-day shadow with the team I might be joining.
