Colloquio
After applying online, I had 3 different interviews (total length: 2 hours) with HR managers, the local director and the marketing manager. The HR managers asked pretty standard questions. The director and the marketing manager engaged a conversation to understand my personality, my willingness to work with them and my understanding of the market.

Appreciate that it's towards the end of the year but interviews are still going. The team has been pretty good about keeping me posted about any delays. Interviews thus far have been more behavioral.

Colloquio
Lack of communication from the recruiter and the hiring manager. The hiring managed only gave me 30 minutes for the interview of which he talked for 15. So I only had a 15 minutes interview, no follow up. Once I followed up after a few weeks, the recruiter said they went with a different candidate. I asked for feedback, but no response again. It was a frustrating experience.

It took 3 months from the initial recruiter phone interview until completing a round of in-person interviews. Although I received good feedback, they wanted to interview more candidates. I could not wait additional months for their decision when I had other offers coming through.
All of the interviewers were personable and asked challenging questions about my past experience. One very senior interviewer was a bit rude when he cut me off mid sentence and told me I was wrong when I explained how my previous company innovated. I thought this was strange and unfounded, especially when my previous company has over 100 years of innovation and more than 100,000 patents. Maybe I didn't do justice in my explanation. That was my only negative experience.
