Candidate-reported interview process
I applied after seeing a recruiter's LinkedIn post. I got an email for a 30-minute hiring manager first round interview for next week. After passing the first round, I got another email for a panel interview with 5 people. I never heard back after that. Both interviews were on Microsoft Teams. All questions were behavioral.
I had a recruiter call first. Then I spoke with the Hiring Manager who is a Director. After that, I interviewed with a Sr. Manager on the team. The final interview was with a Sr. Director, focusing on my resume and experience and how it aligned with the role. There were also a couple of case study based 'what if' scenarios.
You'll have two interviews. First, a 30-minute chat with the hiring manager about your background and experience. Then, a 1-hour team discussion to see how you'd fit in and work with others.
