Three stage interview process, seems to be a long process with unnecessary steps. They have in house recruiters but also work with external recruitment firms as well. They move quickly through the process.

The interview process is pretty simple - first, a phone call with the recruiter, then you'll have more interviews with your potential managers and coworkers. It's mostly behavioral questions, with a few situational ones thrown in. The recruiter can tell you what kind of interviews to expect and who you'll be meeting with beforehand.

It was a video call during COVID and it went well. Then I had another discussion with the director. After a third conversation, I got a strong verbal offer. A week later, they asked me to meet two more people and then rescinded the verbal offer. Honestly, not a great look from my perspective.
