First, a recruiter reacheed out through email about interest in the role, and scheduled a call for screening where I answered a set of questions to answer. The questions included past UX research experience and alignment with the role. After the screening, recruiter selected me for a technical screening. The technical screening was a 45 min round where the interviewer was friendly and discussed about a UX problem for a hypothetical application in depth. The recruiter reached out the following day that I have been selected for the full loop that consisted of 4 rounds: 1 research presentation, 2 technical, 1 behavioral (direction-mca). It was a great experience with the team and the discussions were mostly about my own UX research experiences. I passed the loop and have been in team matching stage for several months. Overall, the interviewers are friendly, but the recruiter is not transperant about the process and makes the candidate experience a bad one due to the uncertainty even after passing the full loop.

Call with recruiter, first round 1:1, second round portfolio presentation, panel, and several 1:1s, team matching. it was an excellent recruiting process , with the recruiters providing all possible prep prior to each interview (this was prior to the layoff wave)
