Behavioral Case Presentation
Six interviews total a few hours, ending with an exec pitch and account plan review. It took a few more hours to prep for the pitch and account plan. I think a senior exec vetoed the hire because I didn't show enough sales process. It's a thought, but if a senior exec can override his team, shouldn't he be the first one I talk to, to save everyone time?

Behavioral
My experience was top-notch. They got back to me quickly with phone interviews, and I always knew what the next steps were. The onsite interview was great because I met people from different departments, which helped me get a feel for the company's direction, its products, and its overall culture.

Presentation Behavioral
The interview process was really long, took about 2.5 months. It included a super long onsite interview that lasted 6.5 hours and had a presentation. Sadly, they decided to go with someone else even though the founder had given me a vote of confidence. They told me they were going with another candidate.
