So, there were 5 interviews in total, even though they told me the 4th was the last one. I got called into the office for what I thought was just a final meet and greet, but surprise! It was actually the 5th interview, and I wasn't expecting it at all. The weirdest part was that the CEO asked me the exact same questions as in the 2nd interview. It felt like they completely forgot we'd already talked about it, which really threw me off because there was no heads-up. I guess they didn't really listen the first time around, or at least they didn't ask follow-up questions like "Can you clarify XYZ?"

After I got an email to set up an initial chat, it took almost two weeks of rescheduling before we finally spoke. The call itself felt super short, like only 15 minutes, which is pretty weird for a first screen. It felt like the recruiter was just going through the motions.

This whole thing was a waste of time. I had a phone screening, then went to the office for an in-person interview with the CFO and CPO. A few days later, I had to go back for another interview, this time with the CFO and the president. After that second interview, I got an email saying they weren't moving forward. It's baffling why it took three interviews to reach that decision. I asked for feedback, but they didn't give me any.

The first interview was a phone screen with HR, covering the job details, company culture, benefits, and salary. It was good to know the salary upfront. The second interview was with the hiring manager. The third interview was with the team I would work with. I didn't get to the fourth interview, which would have been with the VP. The process was okay, but there was a lot of time and not many updates between interviews, so follow up if you're interviewing elsewhere.
