Behavioral Technical Presentation
The whole process took 84 days, starting with a screening and then moving through 4 rounds all the way up to the C-Suite. Unfortunately, after all that, I was completely ghosted. I was repeatedly told that I was the perfect fit for every interview, including the final one. They mentioned they'd follow up within a day or two, but three weeks passed, and I eventually gave up. I reached out to the recruiter again, and she mentioned she meant to call before her three-week vacation but it slipped her mind. Three months for this process is absolutely unnecessary.

HR reached out to me first. I had a phone chat with HR, then another phone interview with a Senior Manager in consulting. We talked a lot about my past projects and what I want to do in the future. After that, I met with a Director in Chicago who again looked closely at my resume and background. Then, I had a very casual phone chat with another Director.
