Behavioral Technical
Applied online and got the first call invite in under 2 days. The recruiter was super communicative, even responding quickly across time zones. What stood out was the recruiter calling me right after my last interview to go over how it went, giving me the exact waiting time and offer details before I even saw the official offer. I always knew where things stood. The whole process took about 3 weeks. First, a 30-min HR call. Then, a 30-min chat with the hiring manager. The final part had 4 interviews, each about 30 mins, with various team members and stakeholders, followed by a quick check-in with the recruiter. I accepted the offer within 2 days of the last interview. They even sent an Etsy voucher for filling out a survey post-interview, which was a nice touch. Overall, a really good experience.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process had 9 rounds, including an assignment and even an office tour. Despite my efforts and taking annual leave to be available, I received a generic rejection email. I asked for feedback for my own development but am still waiting. While I understand they can choose the right person, the interview experience was quite frustrating and felt like a waste of time.

It was a 4-round process. First, I spoke with a recruiter. Then, I met with the hiring manager, followed by some people from the teams I'd be collaborating with. Finally, I had another meeting with the manager. They also gave me a task to finish and submit within a certain timeframe.
