I only got through the first interview, which was a good chat with the recruiter. They made it sound like I was definitely going to get another interview, but then the job was closed because of restructuring.

Had a quick call with the recruiter, then an hour-long interview with the department heads which went great. Was asked for references, provided them. Chased the recruiter for 3 weeks for updates, but they eventually emailed back saying they went with someone else. Pretty bad process overall.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

Started with a quick chat with the recruiter about basic stuff. Then, I spoke with the hiring manager about my experience and how I approach research. After that, I was given a take-home assignment where I had to watch usability test recordings and write up my findings and suggestions. Finally, I presented my take-home work to the team and answered their questions about my research methods.
