The interview process spanned several stages, culminating in a peer technical interview and a final meeting with the hiring manager as the fifth and last round. Overall, it felt like a pretty smooth and quick process.

Technical Behavioral
I applied online via LinkedIn and got an email with a followup call from India HR after 4 days of submitting the application. Then a followup email with multiple technical questions related to SQL, scripting & general IT support environment. The HR then scheduled 3 technical rounds and 2 managerial rounds, all together I spoke to 5 different people about 1 hour each on zoom video meeting. Then complete silenced and no followup email or call for 1 month. Then I saw the same job advertised on LinkedIn and Glassdoor again which I think they haven't found their ideal candidate yet. Waste of time and no transparency on the process.

Behavioral Technical
So I had an interview with an HR manager first. Then I had an interview with a support team manager, I think to see if I was a good fit for the team and for the next step. After that, there were three technical interviews with CSEs from Australia and India, they asked me some short technical questions. Lastly, I had two behavioral interviews where they asked me in detail about specific situations and if I had encountered them before.
