First I had to schedule an interview with the hiring manager. After that, I had a second interview and was given a writing assignment. Then, I had a third interview over video with the hiring manager and two other people from the team. They mentioned there would be a final round and said I'd hear back soon, but I never did get any follow-up or even a rejection. It was a bummer because I spent a lot of time and energy on the writing task and preparing for and doing three interviews.

Presentation Group Behavioral
An external recruiter reached out on Oct 30th to start the interview process. I spoke with the COO in mid-Nov, and then had to put together a presentation. After that, I interviewed with 4 leaders on a panel and took a Culture Index assessment. The whole thing took about two months. I got good feedback throughout and was told I was a strong contender. Sadly, two weeks after the panel, I was told they weren't moving forward with my application. Even though I didn't get the job, I really respected how professional and communicative the team was. It was a good learning experience, and I have a lot of respect for the company.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
First, there was a recruiter screener call that lasted about 20-30 minutes. Then, a 1-on-1 interview where they really dug into my resume and experience for about 45-60 minutes. After that, a 45-minute panel interview focusing on core competencies and working styles. Next, a project that took me around 6 hours because I was very detailed, though it could probably be done in 3-4 hours if rushed. Finally, a 45-minute interview with senior leadership about company values, culture, and stakeholder satisfaction, followed by an offer.
