Overall a good experience. The most intense part was for the head of the department. After that, the rest of the interviews seemed to be more about making sure I was a good fit with the team.

Behavioral Technical
I went through 4 rounds of interviews, one of which was 3 hours long, and also had to complete a skills assessment. They asked for my references and said I was a good fit. After waiting two weeks, I got an automated rejection. While everyone was nice, the two-week wait for an automated rejection felt cold and disrespectful of my time and my references' time, making it a negative experience.

the whole process from when I applied to getting the offer took about 3 months. there was a typical recruiter phone screen, then a call with the hiring manager, and after that, two rounds of interviews with team mates. it was kinda slow, but everyone was really responsive the whole time.
