The interview process is pretty organized. You get to talk to a few different people, which is great for learning about the job and the team. Depending on who you talk to, it can be quite a challenge.

Behavioral

The interview process spanned two months and involved six interviews in total, which felt quite unorganised. I received positive feedback from everyone I spoke with, including the recruiter, but then suddenly got an email saying they weren't interested, with no further feedback. It was a waste of my time, especially since I spent about 8 hours talking to people about the role.

Behavioral Presentation

I went through three rounds of interviews: one with HR, then the hiring manager, and finally with the team leaders. They also asked me to do a presentation, which I think went well based on the feedback. Unfortunately, I was later told the position was closing and they wouldn't be hiring. I've noticed this role seems to open and close every few months.
