1. Phone call with recruiter (20min) 2. Meeting with hiring manager (60min) 3. Presentation of exercise in front of diverse panel (60min) 4. Meeting with 2 C-level managers (60min) 5. Phone call with hiring manager, discussing offer (30min)

The process was clear and efficient, with practical questions and enough context to make a good assessment from both sides. I especially appreciated the expectation management: they were transparent about the role, responsibilities, and how they work, and they also gave space for my questions. Overall it felt concrete and professional, no vague promises.
