Behavioral Other
The interview process involved scripted questions, including many hypothetical scenarios that were irrelevant to the actual role. The recruiter seemed overworked but nice, and the initial recruiter chat felt like a mere checkbox exercise, possibly doable via email. The overall process had multiple rounds, with some changes along the way, but ultimately felt anticlimactic.

Behavioral Presentation Group Other
There were two rounds for this interview, one over the phone and another in person. The in-person part was a whole day and I met with more than 15 people on the panel. The phone call was about half an hour long. Mostly questions about the job itself, nothing out of the ordinary.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you walk me through what you envision your first few months in this role to be like?

Behavioral Group Presentation
The interview process started with a 45-minute chat with the hiring manager about a week after I applied. Then, there was a group interview with 3 team members, followed by another interview with 3 more team members. Things moved pretty fast between rounds, but I ended up waiting over a month for their final decision. Thankfully, I had other job offers on the table and a counteroffer from my current place. The overall experience was alright, though a couple of the questions they asked didn't leave the best impression.
Confirmed questions6 questions
