I had a really smooth interview process, and everyone I talked to, from the recruiter to the interviewers, communicated really well. I talked to the recruiter, then the hiring manager for the role, then their boss, and finally the head of a related team. The questions they asked were pretty specific to each interviewer.

The whole process took about 1 month. It started with a recruiter call, then a round with the direct hiring manager, and finally a round with two department managers. The overall experience was fine, and the managers were open to sharing information. It seems more suitable for graduates as not much prior experience is required. HR was easy to access throughout the process.
