It was an all virtual interview process. First, there was a phone screening with the recruiter, followed by two to four interviews held via virtual meeting, one-on-one style. All discussions were conversational.

Behavioral Technical
So, I initially submitted my resume to a recruiter at a career fair held at my university. At the same time, I applied for the exact same role in a few different places via their website. It took about a month and a half to hear back. Then, a recruiter contacted me to schedule a phone interview for the very next day. It went okay; they asked me some basic stuff about leadership, described the job, and said they'd call to set up another interview. Two days later, I got another call from him to arrange a time for me to talk (again, over the phone) with the supervisor of the location I might be working at. He was really helpful, giving me a heads-up on what to expect, the types of questions I'd face, and so on. This second interview was a bit more technical, with more specific questions, but not overly difficult. I had the chance to ask my own questions, and then they said they'd let me know if I was moving on to the next stage, which would be an on-site interview. About a week after that, I got an email saying I didn't get the job.

Behavioral Presentation
Started with a recruiter call, then had a site visit with the GM, followed by meetings with two VPs. The whole process wrapped up in a few weeks, which was pretty efficient for an international company. I had a really good impression of the site manager and the staff. It just wasn't the right time for me to make this particular career move. Nothing negative about the interview or the company itself. I genuinely think they are serious about improving the business and treating their employees well.
