Candidate-reported interview process

Nice people, 4 rounds of interviews. people get more senior as you move on. general questions to start. behavioral interviews to start and then case studies. last round is a super day I think

After submitting my resume and cover letter, I had a phone interview. There were more interviews planned, but I didn't get past the phone screen. The final round was supposed to be in-person and involved logic-based cases and questions about their annual report.

I had a phone call interview, but it was a bad experience. The interviewer seemed unprepared, awkward, and unprofessional, like they were just reading from a script. I didn't get to the next stage.
