Headhunted by an external recruiter then had four interviews directly with Benchlings, two with internal recruiters and two with hiring managers all lasting approx. 30 mines. The interviews were general chats going through and asking technical questions and why you would fit into the company. The feedback I got from the recruiter was i) They had a large pool of candidates ii) I didn’t show enough reasoning for making this career move. I read all the reviews on glassdoor, watched their presentations on YouTube, download the software, read all the blurb of expected IPO, and demonstrated that in the four interviews. This was contradictory to the feedback they gave the recruiter. If someone has made an effort to attend four interviews, at least have the respect of giving credible feedback. It bring doubts to mind about the whole process, bearing in mind that the this was a headhunted application on my behalf.

First a telephone interview, then a presentation on a scientific topic, then in the final round a software demo, a case study, and two fit interviews. Company with a great product, but a very one-sided interview process requiring weeks of intensive preparation from the candidate, and practically no opportunities for the candidate to ask questions or obtain any feedback. No offer was made after final round due to insufficient experience - which was already a known fact at beginning of process. Currently seems like a young and still somewhat arrogant company that still needs to find its way to more positive and reasonable HR processes.
