There were two interviews, each lasting about twenty minutes and conducted over Teams. The first was with a director, and the second with a VP. The interviewers were nice and respectful, and you could tell they care about their organization. They seemed a bit uninterested during the interviews, but overall it was a great experience.

It was an in-person interview to start, then two weeks later I had an online one, and two weeks after that another online interview. Then there was a 3 week silence, after which I was told about an in-person interview in New York but no date was set, so it got pushed back a week. After the in-person interview, there was another week of waiting, and then a 5th round online interview. I had already accepted another offer by this point.

My interview experience was pretty standard, mainly asking about my past experience, the role's duties, and the work environment. It all seemed to go well, and I was told I'd hear back to set up a final interview with the team leader. But, no further contact happened. Everyone was really nice to talk to and it's a great organization -- I just wish there was a bit more closure.

Interview process went smoothly until the final round. Met with several people including Talent Acqusition, Senior Officers, and CFO. Each interview went really well with information about the position and questions about my experience. I received no communication after completing the exercise.
