5 interviews for one role was very excessive. There didn’t appear to be any shortlisting process through either and was a considerable amount of time, resource and energy to continue with these interviews

loved it! The very first short phone intro was directly with hiring manager and I felt it was two-way street. The person went great length to present the company and position, asked few questions about myself, was very flexible to speed up the process and invited me for a full interview the next day. Even though the most of the time during the interview I was presenting the case study, but hiring manager has provided me with more information to better understand the context, has explained me the processes specific to the business. I felt like we were speaking equal to equal, and I’ve learned a lot during the process. Few days later hiring manager called me to personally convey the feedback - they prefered to go with other candidates. Though hiring manager recognised I could be a good fit for other positions and put me in touch with relevant person. I really liked the personal contact with hiring manager which is not always the case.
