First step was just a call with the hiring manager and another employee it wasn’t too bad. Once you get passed that they ask you to make a technical presentation about a project you’ve been involved with to a large group of people that are going to have a say in your hiring and might want to hire you for their team.
This is where there was some issues, I was informed there were some last minute changes and other hiring managers were taking over the presentation interview process for this specific day. 2 logged on and they informed me others would be joining midway and to go ahead with the presentation. Right then it seemed like a rushed and unorganized way of doing things. They told me they hadn’t read my resume or reviewed my presentation slides which they make you send beforehand. Red flag. Another employee logged on but then left 5 minutes into my presentation saying they had to run. I actually still felt I presented well and was able to answer all their questions well regardless of the situation. But overall it was a pretty disappointing experience, I put in a lot of effort into making and then practicing the presentation to only be presenting in front of 2 people who hadn’t done any research at all about the person they were interviewing. I felt I wasn’t even given a chance because of the circumstances. A week later I received a notice that they had chosen another candidate. I asked for feedback about my presentation and what I could have done better but never heard back. Really felt like my time and effort were completely disregarded.

Didn't make it to all steps. I just went through the first step which was a phone call with a recruiter. It was a good interview, I just wasn't prepared at the time.

First round was an hour-long phone call with an engineer, telling me about various roles they had open and asking me some basic questions about my resume and experience. Very low-key and friendly. Second round was much more rigorous and rigid. 4-hour session in total. It started with an initial presentation from an engineer talking about their projects, LLNL work, etc. Moved on to a technical presentation for 30 minutes where I presented a project I helped lead to a group of a dozen engineers or so, with Q&A after. Got a quick break, then jumped into two back-to-back panel interviews where they had in-depth questions about my past experience, mostly technical. Finished with a short session where I got the chance to ask my questions, along with a benefits summary presentation. Word of warning - be as prepared as possible for the technical presentation. They will grill you on the fundamentals and details of whatever project you're sharing. This seemed like the most important part of the interview.

Present a project you were involved in. The presentation must be technical in nature and 30 minutes in length.

Phone screen, followed by a 45 min presentation interview and Q and A with several engineers and managers from different teams. From the interview date to now, several months have passed with no follow up from the team or recruiter. This is disrespectful to the candidate, and dissuades me from applying to other positions in the future. Avoid asking for long presentation interviews if you’re not willing to provide feedback. Preparing slides takes a long time.
