Behavioral Group Presentation

The interview process started with a recruiter call, followed by a phone screen, and then a group interview and presentation. Although the interview itself went really well, the initial three stages took more than a month. There were also some cancellations and the company seemed a bit unsure about the role itself. I was expecting to hear back after the group interview, but five days later, they called to say they wanted to add another round. They said it was because it's a critical role, but then nobody was available for another three weeks. Since I couldn't commit two months to the process, I turned it down and took another offer.

Behavioral

The interview process was very quick, wrapping up in under two weeks. It started with a phone screen and then moved to in-person interviews. They were flexible with my travel and vacation plans. I got feedback the day after each interview. The negotiation was fair and felt mutually beneficial. The team seemed friendly and dedicated; it doesn't seem like a place where you can just do the minimum.

The interview process was pretty simple. It involved three interviews: first, a quick chat with HR, then a meeting with a more senior employee, and finally, an interview with the person who would be your direct manager. Everyone was really nice and easy to talk to.
