Candidate-reported interview process

It was a long and very detailed interview process, with several phone interviews and then a face-to-face with a bunch of people. Every step was great, although the onsite interview day was really exhausting, meeting so many different people all day.

Applied online and had a 45-minute phone interview with HR, which was pretty casual. The next step was supposed to be an on-site interview, but I never heard back.

The interview process didn't take too much time. The interview itself was quite long, lasting almost the entire day. I had to prepare and deliver a presentation, which felt unnecessary as I never had to present in that capacity during my employment there.
