Behavioral Presentation Case Technical
I started with a chat with the hiring manager about my past work. Then I had to give a presentation for an hour about a project I'd done, with five people on the call. After that, I went in for an onsite where I met two directors and three principal data scientists, plus the team I'd be joining. They said the onsite was for culture fit, but actually, I had a business case interview with one of the principal data scientists, which was a surprise. The other two principal data scientists threw in some different technical questions too. The whole thing took over two months, and a month after the onsite, they told me they hired someone else who ticked all the boxes... Bummer!

I interviewed three times for the position, talking with my direct manager, then her manager, and finally her manager. I had to chase them for weeks to find out I didn't get the job, which was disappointing after investing over 3 hours in interviews.
