Two phone interviews followed by several panel interviews. They don't tell you in advance who you are meeting with, how many panels there will be or what the process is even if you ask. I ran into other candidates for the role more than once during the process and we were able to compare notes. I was there for 9 hours (yes, I said 9) but was only in interviews for a little more than 3. Be prepared to sit around and wait. A lot. Ultimately, I met about 30 people in an extreme example of inefficiency. Some of the employees seemed great; many seemed very frustrated. They won't sell you on the organization at all -- just keep you waiting around for hours at their convenience (and if you want water, be prepared to buy your own). Apparently, they thought enough of me to have me meet the "big boss" but I couldn't have been less interested at that point.

After applying, the first interview was scheduled with a recruiter. The recruiter shared more information about the job, and expressed that I was one of five candidates under consideration that the manager definitely wanted to talk to. It was set up as a formality conversation, where the recruiter said they would be doing most of the talking, and the recruiter provided more information about the role and its responsibilities. The description of the job shared with me was very different from the job posted online, but I was reassured that my background and experience was very interesting to them. After our conversation, I was told that I would be contacted by the manager to schedule a conversation within the next week. I sent a thank you note to the recruiter. I never heard anything back again - no response to my email, no message to explain a change in heart, not even an automated email rejection from the recruiting tool. I learned that I am no longer in consideration by looking in the job search portal directly after wondering why I hadn't heard anything. Overall, it was unfortunately a very poor experience where the job was not as advertised, promises were made and not kept, and communication was lacking.
