I had four interviews total. Two were with HR, one with the hiring manager, and then a panel interview with five managers from different departments. They asked me questions about my experience and the responses needed to be technical. The whole thing took about a month and a half.

So, I had this initial recruiter call, but they didn't even show up on time and had to reschedule for the next day super last minute. After that, I spoke with the hiring manager, and honestly, they seemed super desperate to get someone on their team. The final step involved interviews with two management folks. It was a total of 4 interviews. They kept saying how great my background was and how much my past experiences would benefit their team. I really thought I was going to get an offer, but then... crickets. They never even responded to my thank you emails. Seriously, all that time could have been spent applying elsewhere.

The interview was pretty standard. They gave me some info about the company and the role, then asked me to share an example of a technical challenge I encountered, how I handled it, and what happened in the end.
