Case Behavioral
The interview process started with a chat with the hiring manager about my background and a light PM case study related to the area they're hiring for. After that, there were four more interviews with Director or Principal PMs from different teams. The recruiter also walked me through the process step by step.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process itself was pretty smooth, though it did drag on for quite a while. I spoke with the hiring manager who seemed very experienced, but I'm still a bit unsure about the company culture, specifically regarding work-life balance. I'll need to get more details on the scope of the role.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process involved a recruiter call, a virtual interview with the hiring manager, and a final round of five 30-minute group interviews with PMs/directors, all spread over three weeks. The process was well-coordinated, starting with one recruiter and then a senior recruiter for the final round. After the last interviews, it took about 10 days to receive the offer via a call from the recruiter. There was no lack of communication, with recruiters responding promptly.
