It was a pretty short process, starting with a 30-minute phone screen. After that, there were three 20-minute interviews during the superday. They asked a mix of technical and fit questions throughout the phone screen and superday. The whole thing wrapped up in about a week.

Behavioral Technical
I went through 5 interviews for this role. The first 4 interviews seemed to go really well, but the last one felt off. The whole thing took about a month. Someone I knew there told me they were probably going to pick someone internal and I felt like I was led on. After the final interview, I was completely ghosted by the company, even after I followed up multiple times. It was pretty unprofessional, and I wouldn't want to work for a company that wastes people's time like that.
