My experience echoed other candidates: 4 assessments to do at home followed by 2 in person timed math tests upon arrival. I can understand a company wanting to do one online personality test (let's say to see if you'd be a good fit for a customer service position) but these tests are out-dated and don't set the tone for a very welcoming atmosphere.
I will add that during the interview I was told they post "attractive" and "general" job descriptions online in attempts to gain talent to apply-- even if they don't actually have those jobs available. In other words, they post click bait, and then waste your time! They compile all your info and then send it to corporate HR for evaluation. The process doesn't seem efficient for candidates or recruiters.
In addition, the company culture is archaic and suppressive and the business model still centers around a 600+ page catalog. Their e-comm site shows they have not adopted the digital age (it's circa early 2000's) and their reliance on their phonebook size catalog is not sustainable. Plus, they will struggle once their aged staff retires and they have neither the mentality nor technology to hire or retain a millennial or younger.

The first interview was with someone in HR via a Microsoft Teams video call. Overall, this was just basic questions about your résumé and was pretty easy. The next interview was going into the HQ building to interview with 3 people, 2 from the department this position is in and 1 from HR. Overall, I was very disappointed in my interview experience to the point where if I had gotten an offer, I would have rejected it. Both managers in the department had average attitudes and were a bit condescending. Also, they list this as a Marketing position but it is really a Procurement type of role. I bring this up as I was trying to highlight some previous marketing experience I had and was asked why I did not apply for a different department/position.

Interviewer never made eye contact and read all the questions from a script. She wrote down my answers and then I took a speed math quiz. Not a very personalized approach to new hires.

I thought it went well, just a few standard questions and then an activity to demonstrate some critical thinking abilities. Overall it wasn’t a hard interview but I didn’t think it was enough to get to know me as a candidate
