Case Presentation
This was one of the most unprofessional interview processes I've experienced. It took weeks just to schedule an interview, and nobody seemed responsible for contacting me and finalizing a date. When the interview was finally scheduled, there was no consideration for my availability, which I had previously mentioned. Deadlines that were agreed upon during the interview process were never met.

It was a 3-interview process. First, a 30-minute phone call with my future boss. Then, an online interview with the boss and a technical colleague, which required a presentation. Finally, an on-site interview with the boss's boss, the boss, and HR, also needing a presentation. The discussions were good and interesting, but also demanding.
