The process started with a recruiter call where they shared the actual budget for the role since the online posting wasn't accurate. Then, there was an interview with the hiring manager and later the rest of the team. The questions weren't too formal, focusing mainly on experience, and there weren't any behavioral questions. Things moved slowly with the recruiter, and the process lacked transparency.

Behavioral
Got a call from HR who wanted to chat about my background and career goals. They mentioned a few marketing roles that might fit and said they'd pass my resume along to the hiring managers. They promised to get back to me the following week, but after I followed up, I never heard anything. They ghosted me, which is really unprofessional for someone with my experience.

Behavioral Presentation
I had a video interview with two people. They asked me some competency-based questions. They seemed really into the company and what they do. I didn't get the job in the end, but it was a nice experience.
