Had a quick chat with the recruiter first, then two in-person interviews that were each about 45 minutes long with the hiring manager and supervisors. After that, there were four virtual interviews, each lasting 30 minutes, with other team members. They were really fast with getting back to me and finished the whole process quickly.

So I applied through their online portal, submitted my resume and cover letter. HR reached out for a first interview, which felt pretty good and they said I'd move on. They asked for my availability for a virtual second interview. But then... nothing. Weeks went by, no response. I sent a follow-up email, still nothing.
