They call you for the first interview and it is not that tough. The second interview would be the hiring manager and I am still waiting for this step. It took about 20 minutes. The next step probably takes longer than that.

So the first thing that happened was a recruiter reached out with a questionnaire about my experience. Then I had a 45-minute phone interview with the hiring manager where we talked about my experience related to the job. After that, I got an invite for an in-person panel interview. This interview was a bit weird because it included the hiring manager, two other QE's, an intern, and someone from supply chain. While there were some good situational questions, the two QE's mostly asked a lot of questions that felt like a trivia game, which was a bit discouraging because it took away from discussing my actual skills and experiences. The supply chain person even said it felt like an SAT test, mentioning the questions were more suited for entry-level candidates rather than someone with 12 years of manufacturing experience.

Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process felt unnecessarily long. After two recruiter phone calls, I had two more phone interviews with the hiring manager for the team. Then, I was invited for an in-person interview which turned out to be a panel interview with six people who bombarded me with questions back-to-back. After these phone rounds and the panel interview at IA, which included a timed test, a facility tour, a hotel stay, and even a real estate agent showing me around the area to find a place to live, I thought things were progressing. However, it ended up not working out, and the recruiter was informed two weeks later. It was a significant waste of my time.
