This was a long, old, and cumbersome interview process with 6 rounds. I don't recommend interviewing with them. There were 2 rounds with her, 2 with the support team, and 1 with the support manager Y (who was eating and drinking beer during the interview). I passed the test but didn't get an offer, which felt like being cheated.

Behavioral
Had a phone screening with local HR in Israel, then a face-2-face interview with local HR. I ended up walking out of the face-to-face interview. The reason is that I applied for a Tier-3 role but they considered me for a Tier-2 position, even though I was overqualified. The interviewer was also belittling my experience and the offered salary was lower than what HR mentioned on the phone. Although they wanted me to proceed, I felt they were looking for exceptional people willing to accept low salaries. I apologized and left. I acknowledge I should have asked more questions during the phone interview, but I was optimistic. On a positive note, the process was swift, scheduling the next day after the phone call, the HR personnel were nice, and the offices were great.

Behavioral Presentation
They were very accommodating. The managers I spoke with took time to introduce themselves and explain their roles. They also answered my questions about the day-to-day work and the expectations for the position I applied for.
