Good process - Recruiter screen, Manager interview with roleplay, meeting with 4 separate managers. All via Zoom. Questions were focused on past experience, not generalizations or theories. That's the main takeaway. Thought it was a good process.

The recruiter was not responding emails, was never on the calls on time and was not very respectful. The company seems very cool but this first impression from this interaction with it was not positive.

People were nice however there is a strong expectation to prepare for every interview to the point that you may spend hours doing research and prep. You are interviewed by what would be your peers in the company which I found odd. I eventually did 5 interviews: 1.) HR 2.) General fact finding with a person who would be your peer in the company. 3.) Role play. They supply the material and the expectation is that you are familiar with their product portfolio 4.) The you’re interviewed twice and a bit deeper by people who would be your peers in the company. These are your typical tech company questions. Overall I found the process intensive and maybe the expectation is a bit high considering you may or may not make it. At the end, I didn’t get get the job and my feeling is it came down to 1 interview that was the deciding factor; and by somebody who wouldn’t even be my manager. In the whole process I did not get to meet anybody who I would actually be reporting to. I asked for a debrief to find out where I went wrong, the reply was in no way constructive, as in, I couldn’t take that information and use it in other interviews. My feeling is that the process is more about finding a particular profile than anything else, something which should be determined in less interviews. I passed this criticism on in my debrief which was not well received.
