Candidate-reported interview process

A recruiter got in touch on LinkedIn to gauge my interest in new opportunities. Following that, we had a conversation. Subsequently, I was invited for an in-person panel interview. The entire experience was quite quick.

A professional interview. The company has grown very quickly, so not all processes could keep up with the growth. A very friendly welcome. Parking is subject to a charge, you have to park in the parking garage and walk to the front.

The interview process was pretty structured. It started with a 30 min call with the recruiter, then a 30 min video chat with the hiring manager. After that, there was a 2 hour onsite meeting which was split into two parts with different interviewers. They were quick with communication, but one interviewer showed up 30 minutes late to the onsite. I didn't get any useful feedback after they rejected me.
