Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was pretty simple, with all interviews done over zoom. However, it took a really long time. It was about a month before the recruiter got back to me to set up interviews. I first met with the hiring manager, who is a VP, and then with three other people from different teams. Those three interviews were all on the same day, one after the other. I had to wait about a week to hear back from them.

It was a three round interview process. First you had to prepare a ppt for a presentation, make sure you know the company structure and culture, and prepare a 3 min intro. Then for the second interview it was a group interview.

Overall, the process is not bad, it is OK, relatively smooth. Yeah, that's it. And the time is also not very long. I think it is good. And it is comfortable too.
