The hiring process was quite lengthy and it was unclear who the decision-makers were. Throughout the entire process, I interviewed with at least 5 individuals one-on-one, and then there was a final stage with a panel of over 9 interviewers.

The interview process started with a recruiter phone screen. Following that, I was invited for a full day of in-person interviews, which involved meeting with three separate interview panels. A plant tour was also part of the experience. Everyone involved was very informative.

The process was smooth but the interview experience itself was quite bad. The interviewer was a few minutes late and seemed uninterested in my responses. To make matters worse, they didn't even turn on their video until midway through the conversation!
