It started with HR reaching out on LinkedIn, then a quick call to go over the job and make sure we were on the same page. After that, there was one in-person meeting with the team lead where a team member asked some technical questions.

Behavioral Technical Other
I applied online and went through two tests. The first evaluated my work style and personality, and the second had logical questions. After that, I spoke with HR and then a potential manager who discussed the projects I might work on. It went quiet for over a month, and even though I tried contacting the recruiter, I didn't get a response. It's disappointing to be ghosted after getting excited about the opportunity. It also seems like they prefer hiring recent graduates over experienced creatives in the industry.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
We began with a general chat with HR about open positions and my background. This was followed by an online interview with the prospective head of the team and a team leader. After that, I was given some homework to present during another online meeting. It took a month to hear back, and when they did, it was about a different role. The process essentially restarted, but this time in person: an interview with the hiring manager, where I was assigned a task (writing a project plan). The final stage was supposed to be with the account director and the creative group head, though the latter didn't show up.
