Candidate-reported interview process

It was a standard panel interview, with 3 interviewers and 1 scribe. The interview was in person, and I was offered only one day for it. This was the only round.

It was the standard 4 questions which were emailed 10 mins prior to scheduled interview time. Relatively basic questions. Recruitment process was long but not the worst. I got in after 3 months waiting.

The interview process for this role took a considerable amount of time. It was 3 months from when I applied until I even got to the interview stage. Then, it took another 2 months after the interview to hear back about the results. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job. I did ask for feedback on my performance.
