Candidate-reported interview process
This was easily the worst interview experience I've ever encountered as an executive. The recruiter was condescending and insulting. I tried my best to salvage it, but she was late and totally unprepared. It was a complete disaster!
The interview was a full-day event with several potential teammates. There was a coding test. I had lunch by myself in the conference room. Overall, it was a really good, well-thought-out, and enjoyable experience. I don't have anything else to add.
First, I had a chat with HR. After that, the hiring manager called and it went pretty good. They wanted me to do a test, but I couldn't get to it because I had other stuff going on. About 4 days later, I got an email saying I didn't make it.
