Candidate-reported interview process

So I talked to the recruiter first. I was supposed to meet with the hiring manager too, but then their HR said they couldn't sponsor a visa, so that was it for the process.

The interview process included a Head EMEA interview, a panel interview, and a mock audience presentation to several stakeholders. The presentation topic was open to my choice and required preparation, but wasn't overly difficult. The interview felt less formal, and industry knowledge was important.

Had a bunch of intros and presentations with different people (recruiting, sales, sales management, leadership, peers, other teams). Then did a role play based on a sales situation. The recruitment and onboarding process was fast.
