The hiring process was quite fast, taking about 3-4 weeks. I completed 4 rounds. In the final round, they promised transparency about other candidates. The recruiter then called to offer me the job. A senior leader sent a nice message, and my references were contacted. They said they were preparing the contract quickly. However, after a week of no contract and multiple follow-ups, they just emailed to say the role was filled internally last minute. No apology, just a weird email. I'm glad I didn't quit my job, as I saw reviews mentioning this happening before. Be careful!

Had a recruiter interview that went well, but then had some rescheduled calls. The next interviewer was on vacation in Europe and clearly not prepared, dealing with hotel internet issues, people interrupting, and responding to emails during our interview. His connection kept failing. He was also dressed very casually in a t-shirt and baseball cap, which I found unprofessional given I was in a suit for what is a job interview. It made me question the company's overall professionalism.

The interview had 5 stages. First, a call with the Internal Recruiter. Then, an interview with the Hiring Manager. After that, I met with a Senior AE on the team, the Product Lead, and the Managing Director. Then, I had another catch-up with the Hiring Manager. Finally, I spoke with the CEO who is based in the US. Everyone I met was friendly. They seemed to really know what kind of employee they're looking for.
