Behavioral Presentation
The interview process included a phone screen, followed by an interview with both the hiring manager and HR. Finally, there was a concluding interview with key colleagues and senior leadership. The first two interviews were typical question-and-answer sessions. The last interview required a presentation on a current organizational challenge. The entire process spanned about a month. I was disappointed that no feedback was provided after the final round, despite specifically asking for it.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It took about a month from when applications closed until they called me for an interview. The interview itself was with a panel of 3 people and lasted around an hour. They got back to me pretty quickly, about two days after the interview, to let me know I didn't make it to the next stage.

Behavioral Technical Other
The process is really poorly designed. They have you do the longest list of requirements first (asking for salary expectations before giving you any more info than the JD, a technical test, a psych test, references, a practical test, an interview with HR... etc.) before you even meet anyone from your team. The HR person doesn't know much about the role and gives you bad info about what you'd be doing. The JD listed a lot of skills but they only really use about two. And of course, no feedback afterwards.

I was in a panel interview with 5 people. It was conducted in both English and Spanish. I was one of the few candidates, less than 6 out of over 200, to reach the final stage. However, I was never informed if I was selected, and more than 5 months have passed since then. It feels inconsiderate not to notify final candidates about their status after they've gone through the interview process.
