The interview process lasted over 4 weeks and had 3 rounds. It started with an initial chat with HR, followed by competency-based questions with the hiring manager, and then a task plus questions. The task was quite lengthy and time-consuming but interesting. The whole process was pretty straightforward, but the company really dropped the ball on not giving any feedback. I got an email saying I wasn't successful at the final stage, and when I asked for feedback afterwards, they never replied.

Behavioral Presentation
So there were 3 rounds total. First was kinda like a casual chat with the recruitment team, but they did go through my CV and ask some interview questions. Then the second round was a general interview with the hiring manager. The third round was a full presentation, I had to prepare slides based on a business case.
