Entrevista
Recruiter screen (1st round), then 2 interviews (hiring manager and SQL test, 2nd round), then another round of 5 interviews with different members of the team (3rd round). Very disorganized recruiters, after I passed the 2nd round they essentially just failed to coordinate my final round with the hiring managers. I was then ghosted for about 4 months before being asked out of the blue to schedule the final round (5 interviews) at short notice.
