Candidate-reported interview process

The whole process was super fast, done in just one day. The next day I was able to start my new job. I'm happy with my new job now, and I've been working there for 3 weeks already.

There were about 4 interviews: a phone call, a Zoom meeting, another HR call, a Zoom with the manager, and an in-person panel interview. After these 4 interviews, they ghosted me. I didn't hear anything back until almost a month later, when they told me someone else was hired!

You will have a conference room interview with HR and some senior management members. They will take turns asking questions. The hiring manager and a manager from each department will be present. They aren't drilling questions, but you should prepare for 3 part questions where you state the problem you had, the choice to resolve, and the outcome.
