I had two interviews, one with who would be my manager if I had gotten through. I thought it went well and got invited to a panel interview. The interview went well until I was asked about Work-Life Balance; I said work-life balance was most important to me, and I instantly knew that was the wrong answer. I was told that work-life balance wasn't given, then directly after, I was asked if I would be willing to answer emails and work on holidays and PTO. That is a huge Red Flag.

I went through 4 rounds including 2 with director level positions. Overall it was not a bad experience. However, I am left with a sour taste in my mouth because after this time invested I received a simple form letter from a "donotreply" email address saying I did not get the job. Maybe Im old fashioned but after this much conversation a personalized email if not phone call is what I expected. I am not upset about not get the job but its common courtesy that if you take someone this far to give them a call.
