The interview process lasted just over 3 months, which – for a lower level position at the company – was unnecessary and a waste of time. I understand a company's desire to carefully vet applicants, but having 5 rounds for a position that isn't even remotely senior seems over-the-top. The first few rounds made sense: a phone screening, followed by 2, 1:1 interviews with direct teammates. However, following those interviews, they held a "teams" interview where the questions were largely the same and the people I interviewed with – while very pleasant people – didn't seem to understand what role I was applying for. It just felt like it was a waste of not only my time, but the people's time who were interviewing me. My recommendation to ESRI would be to rethink their hiring practices. It's okay to be thorough, but don't waste people's time.
