Behavioral Technical Presentation
After submitting my CV, I had an interview with HR scheduled for 3 days later, which lasted about 30 minutes. We briefly discussed my career and the job benefits. HR suggested a salary expectation higher than what I initially asked for. Some questions were asked in English. Then, I had an interview with the area manager and a senior employee. They focused on my current and past experiences, explained the scope of activities, and the department's career plan. A second part was in English, where they asked about situations I had faced at work. A third part involved discussing benefits and salary, and my salary expectation, which HR had suggested, didn't seem to be viewed favorably by the manager. After more than a month, I received a negative response.

The interview process took about 2 months and included 2 reschedules, with 2 "final" interviews and no feedback at the end. It started with a 1-on-1 phone call with the Internal Recruiter, followed by a 1-on-1 video call with the Hiring Manager. Then, there were two 1-on-1 video calls with the Team Leads. The process concluded with a "final" 1-on-1 video call with the Director and another "final" 1-on-1 video call with Sr. Leadership.

Applied online. Got a questionnaire from the recruiter via email to check my skills. Then, I was invited for a final in-person interview at their HQ in Waltham. This final round had a bunch of quick 30-minute interviews back-to-back with team members, the hiring manager, and some directors. Everyone was pretty nice and personable. The only bummer is that I never got any kind of rejection email or feedback call. The hiring manager mentioned they needed to fill the role fast, so I didn't bother following up.
