Worst hiring process I've been through. Had an in-person interview, then waited over 5 weeks to hear back. A phone interview was set up with the hiring manager's colleagues. After 2 weeks of silence, I had to email the recruiter to find out the position was filled... very disorganized. Frankly, I'm glad I didn't get the job after that experience.

So, I first did an online assessment, which was basically a behavior assessment, nothing too difficult. After that, I got a call to schedule an onsite interview. I met with the head of communication first, and then with HR. There weren't any really hard technical questions, and the interviewers were pretty nice.
